The engagement of Maggie Mitchell, which
came TO a close at the Grand. last night, has
proven one of the most thoroughly enjoyable
and admirably artistic that has ever been
given in st. Paul.
During the week she has appeared in a
round of her most favorite and noted i'm
presentations, and her appearance nightly has
been uniformly greeted by large, apprecia-
tive and fashionable audiences.
Last evening 1.-THE Little Savage" was
given to nother large audience. and the per-
Torrance was marked by the graceful finish
and artistic completeness that has character
lied the several presentations of the week.
In this play Miss Mitchell is seen at her very
best and she is never more in her peculiar
element than when impersonating the
vagaries of Cora, the Little Savage.
The play is different from most of her
dramas, inasmuch as it is free from the
elements of pathos and sentimentality. 1t
presents the actress IN her most natural and
! charming mood, and that she has complete
power to fascinate an audience was mani
tested by the cordial reception extended her
last night. The matinee performance was
also well attended aud it lie to be hoped that
she win soon favor St. Paul audiences again.

been in active rehearsal during the past week.
1t was originally intended to have the initial
production occur in this city, but owing to
lack of time for proper rehersals

other season before witnessing it. The
rehearsals are being conducted in so thorough
and complete a manner, every care and at

four weeks must probably elapse before the
announcement of its first representation can
be made public. The play was especially
written for Maggie Mitchell, and while it diff

toire as regards plot and construction, yet it
gives this charming artistic ample scope for
the display Of her wonderful versatility
