been styled THE Queen of the Sou
brettes." Since she was here some two
years ago, she has, it is represented,
greatly improved in her art, and has got
much above the level OF musical bur
lesque. She introduces several original
features, and is said to have comedy
part exactly suited to her. III Cincinnati,
last week, the company played to
crowded houses, and the press was unan-
imous in commenting the play as ire
sistibly humorous, and the people in it
as superior in all respects. The troupe is
Ell route to san Francisco, and will re-
main here but two nights. In the COM
pany are: Dan DAILY, VIM. f. Mack,
Chas. Y. Seaman, G. A. Atwood, Albert
Riddle, w. S. MuIlaly, Toma Hanlon,
Jennie Satterlee, Fannie Johnston, Nina
Hayward, Katie Allen, Lillian Rivers.
