especially one by the gifted authoress.
1t is in happy contrast to the trash
usually disbed up, and even if devoid
of the scenic effects and accessories
worthy of the piece, it will be enjoy
able if well rendered. Miss McAllis-
ter comes under the tongue of dis
eliminating report as an admirable
actress. The St. Paul Press save,
"She is the finest actress that has ever
graced the stage in ST. Paul" II this
be true, her rendering of Psrthenia
should be the best We have ever heard
here. The company is a large one
and is highly spoken Of by the eastern

engagement was so great a success
that it was extended one night be-
yond the season advertised. We trust
our people will manifest their appre-
citation of the standard drama by
