M Maggie Mirchell.

That brilliant little soubretel Maggie Mitchell.
whose name is a household word, will appear for
the first time in RaVenna. at the Opera House.
on Thursday evening, May 14th. presenting one
of the strongest plays in her repertoire entitled
Ray" Maggie Mitchell and her methods have
long since survived the expression of individual
criticism. her unqualified acceptance by the
masses having silenced all exceptions taken by
the minority as to her work from an artistic
standpoint. Evidently she believes that the
Gurest way to do thing successfully is to give
that particular duty her entire attention. By
following sucf principles she is able today to
present a portraiture of a peculiar feminine
character that is true to the natural handiwork
that ones preference is inclined to go to the ar
tifcial character. In drawing the outlines of
such characters as Ray. Miss Mitchell is very
materially aided by that Catholic characteristic
of American sympathy. One Of the surest ave-
nues to success with a new production of the
Mitchell type is to appeal to the sympathy of the
women. Nearly all of Miss Mitchelrs produe-
tions have that faculty. and she seldom fails to
delight her audiences. Miss Mitchell will be
supported by a capable company.

$4,000. 1t was believed that improper
inducements had been offered the mem

against the proposed purchase, and a
committee of fifteen was appointed to
call at the council chamber and present
the protest. The crowd joined the COM
mittee. AS the march proceeded the
excitement grew until it eliminated in
shouts of Lynch them" In the mean
time the council had been informed of
the progress of the mob and hasty ad-
journment was taken.
