ing having arrived from Rochester with
her company. During a chat with a
TRIBUNE reporter she said "ln presenting
Sardous great play, Diplomacy at the
rockingham tomorrow evening my
audience will see one one of the most in.
teresting PLAYS from the pen of this great
dramatist 1t is in this play that l made
pronounced success as the Countess Zcka
when it was produced for the fist time in
this country at Wallack's theatre,
New York. l cannot give you
detailed description of my dresses
because l Go not think that any
description would adequetly explain their
beauty and elaborateness. / will say,
however, that they are revelation and
nothing more handsome has ever been seen
on the stage. The ladies Of my company
are also handsomely gowned. Tuesday
night l shall present Oscar Wild's play, "a
Woman of No Importance" 1t is a strong
play and presents many phases of charac-
ter common in English society. My part
in the play is more emotional than any
thing have done Of late and is In strong
contrast to the character of the Countess
Zcka in "Dimplomacy. Miss Coughliu is
looking in the best Of health and says that
her season, so far, which begun at Saratoga
week before last has been very successful
and up to her expectations.
