 PRocToR's OPERA HOUSE.
 The production of Clinton Stuart's play of American life entitled "Will She Di- vorce Him?" last evening by Miss Cora Tanner and her excellent company was one of the noteworthy theatrical engageme nts of the season. The appearan ce of Miss Tanner was the signal for prolonged ap- plause, and from the very outset she suc- ceeded in enchanting the attention of her audience and holding it unint erruptedly until the final fall of the curtain. In her personality is combined the ingeniousness of girlhood with the capacity for portray ing every phase of a woman's emotions. Her ability is conceded by all who have seen her in the various roles she has hitherto essayed. As the central character of her new play, ''Will She Divorce Hima' gives her far wider scope for all her at tributes, both natural and acquired, it can be conscientiously said that she is as Isabel Spencer seen at her very best. Her intrinsic worth was warmly recognized last evening, and her exceptionally merito- rious work won for her two calls before the curtain. Colonel Sinn's company com prises names of several very excellent actors, and their work last evening was of 8 high order of merit Those especially deserving of notice were Harold Russell, O. H. Barr, J. K. Hutchinson, Miss Ada Dwyer and Miss Margaret Montgomery Altogether, the production was as enjoy able as anyone could wish for. The play VIII Do IcpodtcO bIllB dIU6TuOOn ana even ing, and there should be an overflow at each of the remaining performances.
