Although the sale of seats indicated
one of the largest audiences Of the sea-

is a petite and charming young actress,
and admirably sustained her part as
Belinda TTehern," on whose devoted
head the black sorrows of a long life had
fallen. She was repeatedly applauded.
Her support is good. The play is bur-
lesque comedy, laughable in the extreme,
and is decided success. Miss RhOades
makes it so. At the close of the perform
ance Davis Bros distribution of prizes
