lOfiIcst heights Of her genius. On Tuesday

llOney MOON" by John Tvrin, A splendid
play, In which her versatility and power ~
comedienne are fully illustrated. At

~ Lyons will constitute the attraction, and
that night Gretchen" will be given. n great
drama by W. ;. Gilbert. founded upon the
leading motives OF G0the's Faust and
deriving its chief interest from that source.
"Greichen" Is one of the famous roles Of
Miss Mather, and viii be rendered unusu-
ally attractive upon Wednesday night
owing ia the fact that the orchestra will
play the chief orchestral numbers from
GounOd's opera OF Faust" Few plass
written during this century have awaken
ed the strong sympathy and interest
that Gretchen has, and no role in which
Miss Sfather appears affords her genius
more latitude and scope. This engagement
promises to be one OF the most attractive ri
the current year, and already public inter
est is at high pitch. Miss Mather has al
ways been a society favorite, and the adj

accomplished artistic will be received b,
the Richmond public. All Of the PLAYS t.

her sex.

The costumes are dazzling in their pic
turesque beauty. All the saliant features
of the lone fisherman. the miserable ruff
fans, the dancing heifer, the diamond
fields, &C., g., are just as efiectual as
ever. Judging from the reception accorded
