The Charity Performance.

Mr.. E. S. Willard. the accomplished actor
who is now delighting audiences at the
Baldwin in THE Middleman," will CON
tribute an interesting feature to the benefit
performance at the California this after
noon. 1t Is Gabriel Dante Il setti's beauti-
full poem, "a Last Confession" recited in
costume and with appropriate stage envi-
ronments. Mr. Willard. as the remorseful
peasant. lies upon pallet of straw within
a poor hut, and tells his tale of passion,
jealousy, despair and murder to priest who
sits by his bedside. The story is one of
mad love for beautiful. faithless
girl, and of her killing by her lover.
The peasants death closes the recital, which,
it is said. Mr.. Willard makes intensely
dramatic. Besides the presence of this
mastery actor, there will be representatives
from all the theaters in the city, each pre-
pared with soTe speciality of importance.
IL is to be hoped the attendance of the
public will be large, and that, for charity's
sake, those present will meet the profession
in the same liberal spirit its members have
shown.

then go on and represent themselves. De-
strOy the illusion and you destroy the pro-

They show that the profession is uucon-

of acting. If the theater is to represent
men and women just as they are. there is no
use for the theater, because men and women
as they are can be seen everywhere without
charge OF admission.

Frederick Warde's company was at At

gradually toward New Orleans, and, no
doubt, is playing in the Crescent City at
present to the same good business that has
mpanied it all through the Southern
tour. A correspondent writes that the
travelling through the South is hard, but the
business is excellent both with '' The
Mountebank !" and THE Lions Mouth"
IN the leading part of which Mr..
Warde is winning golden opinions.
Many of the other members of the company
also come in for share OF press encom ium.

was such favorite at the Alcazar In this
city during the outset of her theatrical
career. by the Atlanta Messenger: 100
much cannot be said of the exceptionally

almost the exact counter part OF a

like that observed in new born in

upper front jaw, was filed with com
plete set of teeth. The fore legs of
the animal we're those of q natura
