Charming Minnie Maddern plays her,
last engagement at the Grand opera
commencing tomorrow night. Miss
Maddern has already been seen twice in
this city under unfavOrable cireum5
stances. This time she comes to popu4
lar house with an established patronage
and will no doubt do large business.
Miss Maddern is very young star, but
her success has not been judged by her
years but by her genius which, in the
roles she has assumed here, shows
resplendent. Miss Maddern is the best
ingenue on the stage to-day and her
winning personality and pscholgic eff
feets leave deep impression on the
auditor. Little bits of business, touch
here of pathos and comedy, show her to
be as versatile in her art as if she had
studied at the Comedie Franchise. The
plays to be presented during this en-
gagement have been favOrably COM
mented upon by the critics. 'In Spite
of ALL" by Steele Mackaye, will be
given Monday and Tuesday evenings;
Caprice" by Howard p. Taylor, will
be the bill Wednesday evening. There
will be no "Wednesday matinee. The
numerous friends of Miss Maddern in
