through the performance the ripple of laughter
I'm the auditorium scarcely died out. There is a
fine satiric feature in the piece, too-the fond
ness American girls have for making foreign
aristocratic marriages. Karl is the scion OF q
noble German family, once rich. but his
business with money is only to spend it. He
has his love affair with an American widow
travelling on the continent, who has engaged
him as a courier. Mr.. spartan SPOTS, Chicago
Speculation, is his rival, and this condition FUR
nishes the best comedy part of the piece. Dis
suised as courier Karl calls himself the foster
brother OF the supposed dead prince, aud gains
the love OF the widow by his own attraetiveness,
although she cherishes the memory OF the
prince Karl who had formerly won her
affections His limitations OF the peculisrities
of the dead Karl at the piano in the third act
were neat and afforded the audience great
pleasure. Mansfield sings a good song,
whether It be in German, French or
English, and his imitation OF the violoucello
nlayer was marvel of the mimetic faculty. 1t
is rather derogatory to the dramatic talent of the
gentleman to sdvanes the opinion, but we think
this amusing triie will be the most popular
festure OF Mansfeld's repertoire during his en-
Cagement"

Pitou company in the latest successful modern
melo-drama, "The Power of the Press" Tor q

Monday night, June {, at Armory hall. The play is
very entertaining. 1t unfolds story which is ia
