Mr.. ManteIPs Success in "Monbars"
is quite the social topic ol the week, and
every one is anxious to see it. The book
ing for this week is by far the biggest Of the
season, and theatre parties are all the rage.
Each night the theatre is filled with bril-
liant array Questionable society people, with
whom Mr.. Mantell is always great attrac-
ton. Few plays have gained such splendid
reputation in So short a time, and NO one
witnessing the performance would credit
that only ten days ago it was produced for
the first time. Not hitch occurs; not u
detail is overlooked which could possibly
interfere with its perfect representation. or
Mr. Mantelrs acting little remains to be said,
save that he is covering himself with glory,
aud "Monuars" is probably destined TO be
the crowning success Of Ills life Cincinnati
