AMUSE MENT rs.
Rerie,c of the Week--7he Warlacks.


There were several drawbacks to initiate
against the complete financial success of the
Wallack engagement which came to close
last night, but for all that the appearance OF
so capable company has been emphasized
by good attendance throughout the week,
while the artistic success of the engagement
has been most flattering.
For the sake of the Golfers of both the
company and the manager of the Grand, il
is to be regretted that the dates of the COM
pany could not have been fixed for u later
periodin the season, but the eastern engage
ments of the company would have of course
made this impossible.
The periodical or annual visits to ST. Paul
of companies like the Wallack is indeed all
that can be looked for under the present
status of theatrical affairs and IN view of this
We should be thankful for what we have had.
For the same reason it is regretted that the
financial results OF the engagement were moi
greater, as the dramatic patrons of st. Paul
can well afford to encourage the visits TO
panies like the one under consideration.
However, there is not much room for
complaint, as the attendance was good and
the receptions accorded the company very
enthusiastic. The plays presented were
Lady Clare'' and Moths the latter, we
think, possessing by far the most power and
dramatic interest. Of the merits of the
dramas the GLOBE has descanted at length
already, and as to the artistic and finished
character of the acting, We think the opinion
and verdict of the public are undivided. 1t
is to be hoped that the company will favor
st. Paul soon again.

The engagement of the Wallack Theater
company, which came toa close at the Grand
last night, was signalized by a peculiar tri-
uInph. so far as the acting was concerned,
and it must needs add to the glory Of the oc-
casion that one of the members of the cast
was St Paul girl, and young lady more
over who has more than justified the predic
ton and good opinion made in her favor.
By this encomium no inTidious comparison
is intended with the thorough and accom-
piished artist who has heretofore appeared
regularly in the cast. Considered per Sc the
company is composed of ladies and gentle
men who have long since established repu-
tations for a high order of dramatic
merit and perfection and of their several in
terpretations the GLOBE has already taken
occasion to speak at length. Especial ref
crcnce is made at this time, to the appear
ance of Miss Eta Hawkins, of this city, in
the roll of Fuschia Leach, in the drama of
Moths" Since her debut GU the dra-
matte stage the public or st. Paul and her
many friends have been accorded scarcely
any opportunity to witness her acting, es-
pecially as her performances have all been
given before eastern audiences. A pardon
able pride was therefore evinced by her
many friends, when the announcement was
made that she would appear in the cast yes
terday afternoon and evening.
On both occasions the opera house con-
tanned large and appreciative audiences, and
it is but justice to say that in the impersona-
ton of the role entrusted to her keeping
Miss Hawkins carried off fair share of the
honors. She possesses perfect stage pres
ence and winning manners and an air of
perfect naturalness that never fails to capti-
vate. Indeed. she appeared perfectly at ease
in the part, and she enacted the role of the
whimsical and dashing American heiress in
a most natural and fascinating manner
Considering that she never essayed the role
until yesterday, this is high praise, and it
more than justiies the high estimate of her
histrionic talent hitherto given in these
columns.
Her impersonation of the role, in short, was
well nigh perfect and she is to be congratu-
lated upon the attainment of so great meas
ure of artistic finish. The audience was
large last evening, and Miss Hawkins was
made the recipient of several very handsome
floral tributes.
