courtroom scene, while other scenes are very
good The scenic effects are all fine. The
orchestra Is very fine, and the soloiss more than
superior; The display of diamonds as adver-

attractive, A matinee this afternoon and a
final performance this evening.

Prodger, whose devotion to the maintenance of
that institution has won for him the title of the
orphans Friend" certainly must have felt
gratifed at the success attending the benefit for
and entertainment of the orphans which he
arranged and managed at the Ciunie Opera
House yesterday. The building was packed

were turned away. The little ones had an en-
tertainment that to them was an event never TO
be forgotten. The volunteers were many and

artist, Mr. wilkins, painted winter scene for
the occasion so realistic that many persons
buttoned their wraps about them for fear OF
taking cold.
