an engagement with Augusiln Daly's company. His engagement of twelve consecutive weeks in Phila- delphia, and his recent return ap- pearance at the same theater for sixteen weeks broke all previous Shakespearean records in America. Miss Adelaide Prince will support Mir. Clarke this season in opposite star roles.
 THE PEERLESS eoRINSE.
 The Kimbal Opera Company. with the peerless Corinne, composed of sixty goodlooking and interesting people, singing. dancing and merry making, in the operatie extrava- ganza. "Hcndrick Hudson. Jr," will give two performances in this city next Monday-a matineein the after noon and the regular performance at night.
 Newness, brightness. up-to-date- ness are the characteristics that will impress themselves upon every body who goes to see this really notable production, the most gorge ous. elaborate and expensive in the history af the organization which Mrs. Jennie Kimball. it's manager, has directed through years of success. The leading ehara- cter is also decidedly the best opportunity which Cor rinne has ever had in which to display her charming talents. She has many means of winning pnbiie favor, has Gorinne. for her natural graees are varied and her accom- plishnents are numerous. She is a charming picture. in her young wo- manhood. with jaunty figure and the sweetest and merriest of smiles, and the several costumes of Hendrieh Hudson, ranging from the raSish cap and swaggering high boots oi the dauntless explorer. to the lace mantilla and crimson skirts of a Spanish coquette all enhance Ter winsome beauty. 1t is said she never before sung so well as this year. Sc 1t is with her dancing, which was really the first successful accomplish ment in which she distinguished her self as child. She dances every thing, iigs, hornpipes. Spanish dances, Oriental advertisements, all with perfect grace and rymth. This season there is m especial verve and audacity in her dancing-something of the spirit of the Far Eastern dancers, but with no possibility oi giving offense. Corinne has evident ly studied them all. and found the secret of their charm The jolly Iit- tie eomedienne is as eager to begin as the audience is to see her. and she is animated and happy from start to finish. Everything about her is calculated to inspire her to do her best. The extravaganza itself is cleyerly constructed land brightly written,' the music is brisk and melo- dious, the scenery new, beautiful and elaborate, and the big supporting company Is a company to be proud of. Aside from Corinne's own per formanee. there isa wealth of attrac- tions in 'Hendrick Hudson, Jr.. sur passing in ingenuity, beauty and ef- feetiveness anything of the sort heretofore shown in stage spectacle.
 Every costume and all of the seen cry for this great production were expressly made for this season. All is new and bright. The scenery and effects are carried In special cars in such manner as to reduce to the smallest possible chance the danger of wear and tear in transportation. "Hendrick Hudson, Jr.,s will be seen here in all of it's beauty and mag nificenee.
 If the Pine Bluff people appreciate excellent and high-class attractions they will have ample opportunity to gratify their tastes in the above two engagements, and if they want first class companies tocome to this city, they should turn out and patronize them when they come here.
