MRS. LANGTRY's SUCCESS.
The Jersey Lily Plays to a Crowded
House and is Warmly Received.

The Jersey Lily Plays to a Crowded
House and is Warmly Received.
Mrs. Langtry could not have wished for
a more brilliant audience than she had last
night, and she could hardly have played
under more favorable circumstances. The
Theater was crowded in every part with a
fashionable audience
Mrs. Langtry met expectations. Nobody
expected to see a great actress, but every
one expected to see a handsome woman,
with lots of beautiful and costly dresses
and plenty of diamonds, and they were not
disappointed The play, GAS in a Looking
Glass" does not afford much room for fine
acting, and it is probable that Mrs Langtrv
doesn't want play of that kind. She is
not poor actress by any means In fact
she acts very well. Sho pays careful at
tention to details and she is generally quite
correct in her Interpretation of the various
emotions which were called for by the
character which she presented.
She was warmly received and was recalled
at the end of every act She is an ideal
type of womanhood, faultleas in face and
physique. Her costumes are magnificent
and add greatly to the success of the play.
In Mr.. Charles Coghlan she has strong
support, and her company throughout is a
fairly good one. She will appear tonight
III IA WlteS Peril"
Mrs. Langtry is greatly pleased with Sa-
vannah. She remains very quietly in her
car when not on the stage, and
on account Of her fathers recent
death she does not essay to entertain or to
be entertained. Her private car the LA Lee"
is a veritable palace on wheels. The cush-
ions are handsomely upholstered in satin
plush, and all the adcrnments are of the
most costly stuffs. The drapery is of the
finest Damascan pattern and workmanship.
Her private boudoir contains all that could
make the heart glad and enjoyment perfect.
All convenieuces are found on the car
writing rooms, lavatores. etc.-and her
cuisine abounds in all the delicacies obtain
able where she stops. Her party is com
posed of her niece, a young miss in her
teens, her manager, and her leading man,
MIR. Coghlan. Besides these are the French
maid, three servants and the French cook.
