AT THE EsIBIZIONE.
The Unique Entertainment to Run
One More Night.


The esibizione has made success.
The unique, beautiful and certainly in
structive entertainment will run one
more night, the result of crowds, last
night, that made it absolutely impossi-
BILE for all to see and enjoy the pictures.
1t is now a financial, as it has always
been. an artistic success, and has
done mere in one week to di-
rect public's art education than
a year of ordinary study. Too much
credit can scarcely be given the ladies
and gentlemen who have expended so
much time and pains in the work. Last
night drew out the largest crowd of the
week, and as q result, the effort put
forth to please and interest was de-
cldedly marked. Many of the pictures
already presented and described in the
GLOBE were repeated by request and
were warmly applauded. The figures
are acquiring greater proficiency III the
art of posing, and the effect is very
much heightened. What was shown in
the several national studios appears be
low:

and personnel as follows: ''The Old
Arm Chair" by Banginet, Miss Will
Jams; The Vestal Tuccia," by Leronx,

finest works, the Parthenon frieze, a
study by Phidias and the mural paint
