Cissy Fitzgerald Next Week.
Cissy fitzgerald will be seen at City
hall next Tuesday, the Goth inst. The
Boston Beacon says:
The search light on Mechanics Hall has
shone with enfeebled lustre all the week
for the luminous and electrifying Clssy
Wink has been sclntillating nightly at
the Park Theatre. The background, con-
structed to exhibit the wink to the best
advantage is a farce by William LeStOcq,
the author of "Janet,' called ''The
Foundling," in three acts. 1t is broader,
however than it is long. The plot of
the piece can be readily deduced from the
title, for it is merely the good old maxim
that it is a wise child, ETC., etc, treated
from the farce comedy standpoint, ana
the chief amusement IN the piece arises
from the reckless way in which the
Founding accuses every one on the stage
regardless of their age, sex, race, color or
previous condition Of Seryitude of the
doubtful honor of his parentage. His
efforts have apparently been successful to
the extent Of the acquisition of two
putatiye mothers when the deus ex
machina finally arrives and sets matters
right, quite clearing the character Of
those two unfortunate women"
The sale of seats will begin at Stock
bridg els tomorrow morning and numbers
will be given out at O'Clock. 1t will
be well to make an early application fol-
this will be one of the metropolitan
tire ats of the season and there will be a

Paderewski.
There will be a splendid audience
gathered in City Hall this evening rep
resenting this musical culture of Maine
for the seats have been taken by people
all over the State. In Boston Music Hall
was crowded to repletion Tuesday night
by most enthusiastic crowd Philip
Hale says:
| "And3waht is again to be said about
Paderewski's playing? You were at
the concert last night how did you con
vey your Impressions to q friend who
was not there? If you are a musician
you probably spoke of beauty of tone,
eveness in scale passages and arpeggios,
delicacy and spontaneity in arabesques,
skill in the use of pedals general splon-
dor of technique? But did your friends
gain any just idea of the power, the pa
thos, the brilliancy of the performance?
Or if you are An amateur, simple lover
of music, what was there for you to do
except to f'babble in superlatives.
The doors will be Fclosed during each
number of the programme and late COM
ers will have to await the conclusion Of
each selection before they can take their
seats. 1t therefore behooves everyone to
be on hand before thet concert begins so
that no one will be disturbed.
The concerts given in New York and
| Brooklyn cleared $4,000 each.

Theatre yesterday afternoon and the
