The St Paul Globe says: ''The performance was at once tbs most artistic and beautiful given during the present enjoyable engagement Tba nlav nossesses an added charm, aside from the consu inmate beauty of the per formance. from the fact that 1t conveys a r,ura and wholesome moral, and the heart mnst indeed be hardened that does not snccumb to it's great influences. The lm- nersonation of Lorle by Miss Mitchell, all in all. was one of the few hits of the mimic realism that one cares to store away in hls .asollections of the stage, and it will be feeD1ue f9eas,.red up as such by all who have had the supreme pleasure of seeing it: In the J;stanf realm of ingenious emotional act ino Maagie Mitchell is the perfect mistress of the art, and she has to-day no peer in the parts essayed o, the American stage
