Louis James and Marie Wainwright
will appear in Richmond on February
Sth and 9th. Reviewing the perform
ances of the James W ainwright company
in Chicago, the JourHal of that city said
There is one point about the produc-
lions of this distinguished couple that
should not be overlooked by the thought
full public Every actor that ventures
forth as a star has a tendency TO make
himself prominent at the expense OF the
cast. Mr. James has taken TO heart the
lesson Henry Irving taught this country,
and endeayors to give harmonious rep
resentation of every play Every part,
even TO the most minute, is properly
filled, properly 'c0stumed and given its
proper prominence. The stage pictures
are not made TO glorify the star exclu-
svely, hu, to present picture truthtully
illustrating the situation and calculated
to live in the memory of the audience.
The costumes are exceedingly rich.
Those worn by Miss Wainwright were
all designed by herself She has earned,
perhaps, the finest reputation in the
country for the taste, accuracy and eiiec-
tiyeness of her costumes while support
ing Lawrence Barrett for so many years.
\ fine illustration Of her taste in this
direction is found in her Beatrice in Much
Ado About Nothing. A great deal was
said about the cosiuming OF Ellen Terry
in this comedy and comparison between
Miss Wainwright and Miss Terry has
been freely made to the advantage of the
former"

Mr. Waddill of Henrico rose under q

that In debate on the Mechanics Lien

He never dreamed of impugning the
veracity of any member.
Mr. Loving OF Amherst said he thought
the gentleman from Henrco had misre'
presented him, and that was the cause
of the language he used. No one more
regretted than himself the occurrence,
and that the kind feeling he has hereto
fore felt for the gentleman from HenricO
was none the less impaired.
