We pay 30 cents toll for every wagon load

did company will present for the first time
in this city the drama entitled Woman
Against Woman" This actress is a "a
vorite in Wheeling and the following inter
esting little bit OF praise from the Chicago
Herald will be read with pleasure:
With personal charm that is sweet
and winning and an art that is varied and
reposeful, it is no wonder that Miss Ellsler,
who has Just closed 9 successful week
here, should take captive the hearts OF
theatre-goers. She is the youngest OF
American actresses that can boast OF q
stock company training and familiarity
with the traditions of the stage. By talent

that celebrated American character actor,
John Ellsler-shsis entitled to front rank
among American actresses and il ia pleas
ant to record that she is meeting with
such well-deserved recognition. Although
Young, her experience dates back to the
great Edwin Forrest, to whom che played
leading opposite parts when she was but
thirteen years old. Her range oil work he's
been phenomenal, running all the way
from comic opera to the highest grade OF
emotional work. Barry Sullivan, the fa'
nous English tragedian, said of her: "She
is the greatest actress for her inches in the
world" As the creator OF Hazel Kirke she
is affecaonately remembered by every the,
atre goer in the land, and her Bessie Bar.

Against Woman, is destined to become
equally popular. One fluids pleasure in
praising go conscientious an artistic. She
Possesses charms peculiarly her own. Her
pathos appeals irresistibiy to the hardest
breast, and her comedy is of the kind that
makes the heart laugh. She is ofthe pure
type of womanly woman which should fur
nish entertainment for our mothers, oul
wives, our sisters and our sweethearts.
