At the Congregational Church this
evening the Sacramento County HUI
name Society takes a benefit to enable
it to carry on its work, and for the
occasion has engaged the talented and
beautiful young woman Carrie 5. Ru-
dolph, noted character impersonator.
She was born and raised III Sacramento,
the daughter of a pioneer family. She
was a pupil of Professor Curry of Uar-
ward University for three years, and from
the moment of her advent upon the stage
created a profound impression as de-
| lineator of character and versatile
reader. This has ripened into public ad-
mIration as she has progressed in her art,
and to-day she holds, as the Boston i'd
UertiSel puts it, ''the first rank in her
line" The New York FOrId, even more
enthusiastically outspoken, says: 'She is
unquestionably first and best" in her art,
because ''she is so utterly devoid of any
striving after effect; there is such true
ring in her sweet voice; such rollick-
ing merriment in her gay tones;
such.pathos in her sad tones" She ap-
| pears in all her readings in costumery
! suited to the part assumed. She gives Il
| long and varied entertainment, and
| proves, say the critics, that she is Won
deriully versatile young woman of native
ability, highly developed and trained,
and promising still greater achieve
ments. Miss Rudolph has many changes
| OF costume to make, land she therefore has
| the assistance of others to entertain the
audience in what would otherwise he
waits" Those who have volunteered to
aid her in her first appearance in her
native city, and to assist also a society
that is doing noble work and has ef-
fected in q remarkably brief time reforms
| that result beneticlally to every person in
the community, are Mrs. Edward Cad
walaCier. her sister, Mrs. L. 7. Van Fleet
Mrs. +. Noack, Mrs. Il. i. Howard and

Lawton of the Humane Society says that
all the indications are that the audience
will be large one, and the society thus
be given the substantial aid it greatly
needs, and at the same time that the pub
lie will get its moneys worth and more
from the entertainment, judgment that
we believe to be sound.
