shown by the demonstrations of the appreciative
audience last night. Laura Biggar still assumes
the role of the widow, with all her former vim

the entertainment which John Mason and Marion

evinced In the representation Of Miss Manola,
whose lyric accomplishments were alone known.

September last, and her growth has been Of the
greatest surprise to even her warmest friends.

that q large audience viii be present. The enter
