AMUSEMENT NOTINGs.

One more victory was added td)the
list of successes of the Peoples theater
last evening, when the interesting drama
in four acts entitled MARY Warner, or
a Wife's Devotion" was produced for
the first time in this city with all its
complete appointments. If the Peoples
seated seated twice as many as IS, it t,, does
capacity of any theater in the
city, by nearly 800 it would have. prob
ably been filed last evening. AS it
was, many disappointed people turned
their faces homeward again, upon being
unable to gain admission, and two small
''Give-me-a-pass-mister boys" yelled
standing room Only'' in front, of
the theater after 8 o'clock. The

character of Turks. Marie Welles-
ley carried the sympathy of her
auditors with her, through her trials
in trying to save her husband from dis
honor, and made very favorable i'm
preston. The scenery and me-
chanical effects could scarcely
been improved, and added much
to the interest of the production. In
the first act, an iron foundry was seen
with its machinery in motion, and in
the last acts very realistic snow scene
was presented, representing Plum Tree
court, London, the exterior of the home
of George Warner. Much credit must
be given Prof. Wolf for the splendid Sc
lectiOnS his efficient orchestra renders,
which adds much to the evenings en-
