Boston Mass, Fob. O.-It was decided
al a meeting OF Boston citizens today to
announce the selection Of committee for
the purpose OF promoting the establishing
OF International bi-netallism upon the gen.

MARIE WAINWRIGHT.

Miss Marie Wainwright is always sure
of warm welcome and liberal patron
age in this city. and she thoroughly we'll
deserves the favor in which she is held,
for not only is she beautiful woman
and an admirable artistic, but she invari-
ably presents good plays, superbly cos
TUNED, and interpreted by company
OF much more than the average
excellence. For her engagement at
the Metropolitan, which lasts through
the week beginning Monday, April 8,
Miss Wainwright will present four
plays, in none OF which has she been
previously seen here. Monday, Tues
day, Wednesday and Thursday even
ings and Saturday matinee the bill will
be IAN Unequal Match" a brilliant
Seomedy by Tom Taylor, author of THE
Ticket of Leave Man." This Is gen.
orally considered to be one of the best
lOf imodern English plays. Wednesday
{ Miss Wainwright will give popular
bprice" matinee of the ever favorite
ssCamille," in which she has been rapt.
.urously received In New York, Boston
and all the largest Eastern cities. Fri
day will be devoted to the fascinating
comedy-drama 'Frou Frou," and Satur-
day night to AuguStin Days great
drama, "Man and Wife," founded on
Wilkie Collins absorbing story. In all
the plays Miss Wainwright's costumlng
will be of the most elaborate and artistic
character. Barton Hill, Louise Null

head the company.

SOCIETY ACTORS.
Play arabian Nights to the Four
Hundred.

The company of young actors, who pre-
sented sgd ney Grundy's play, 1.-THE Arabian
Nights, Fat Ford's hall last night, have reason
to be entirely satisfied with the success OF
their efforts, from dramatic standpoint as
well as from financial one. The play was
witnessed by an audience which tested the
capacity of the hall, and which was enthusi-
aslIc enough TO satisfy the vainest of actors.
Mrs. ii. H. Horn. in the part of Mrs. Gill
brand. was mother-in-law of the most ap-
proved type. and bore herself with
the time honored severity of the
British matron with an absent married
daughter. MISS Stirgis, as Rosa Coiombier,
OF The Aquarium late of the sawdust ring,
was splendldly i'll the spirit of her part and
carried II OFT with much dash. Her i'm
promptu circus ride was clever bit of ork.
and at the close she received a double round
of applause and an armful of roses. Miss
Hawkins was very sweet and dainty as Daisie
Maitland. Miss Horn. as Hummingtop's
wife. was by turns tragic and tender. and at
alftimes effective Miss Blakely was pretty
Barbara. and made all that was possible OF
her slight opportunities
Mr., Spencer, who took the part of Hum
mingtop, who wanted to be Haroun-al-
Raschid. and failed, or rather succeeded too
well. was fully equal to the exacting part
Ralph Ormsrud was played in natural and
clever manner by j. H. Stewart. Joshua
Gillibrand, who dotted on the guttapercha
girl. las advertised" was well essayed by H.
T. Bend. r. ID, Stewart was excellent fun as
Dobson. The scene representing u morning
room was prettily set. The play must be set
down as one of the most successful amateur
affairs ever given in st. Paul
