The stockbridge Course.
Says the Mic d. .boro Gazette: "Miss
Jessie Couthoui, the popular and tai
ented reader, has just reasons for feeling
pride i'll the fiattering reception accorded
her by the large audience present on the
occasion OF this, her second appearance
IN town. The chief charm of her art lies
IN its perfect naturalness. None of the
effects are forced and the results are at
all tlmes pleasing to her auditors. Her
attractive personality, ands certain
p1quant and winning charm of manner
greatly enhance the effect of her elo-
cutlonary work; her voice, deep and rich,
being easily adequate for sounding the
entire gamut of dramatic infection
She is especially successful in humorous
renditions" The Couthoui company
will appear next week in the Stockbdge
course

of admission. Every evening at 8, mat

house saw them at the matinee yester-
day. but there was large house last
evening. Tho best features last night
were the cornet solo by Mr.. Lincoln, and
the lightning baton drill by Major NJ
