FAREWELL LILLIAN.
LILLIAN LEWIS WILL MAKE
HER FAREWELL
Appearance Here on Wednes.
day Night in ssCredit
Lorraine

Lillian Lewis will present Credit
/ Lorraine at the Opera-house
Wednesday night next. March 4.
This will positively be Miss Lewis
| farewell engagement in this play.
The people OF this city love Miss
Lewis as an actress and a woman
and all those who have seen her In
/ credit Lorraine will want to see
! her agnin, aud those who have not
seen her win End great pleasure In
doing so.
As an artistic of the realistic school
OF acting, Lillian Lewis must be con
sidered the great and foremost ON
the American stage, and it Ii prob
able that her methods OF realism az
well as her power OF eharacteriza-
ton, find the greatest scope In
Credit Lorraine. This drama and
its incidents is the dramatic blogra-
ply of the famous court favorite and
beauty, La Castiglioni who, since
[ he fall OF the empire, has led Il life OF
absolute seclusan. and earned as
much renown from her later years
eceentricity, (She has not spoken

did from her VIII and beauty in her
early life. There il one scene in

which, as u realistic example
OF the present days stage
realism has no equal, and which at
the same is ennobliBg In the highest
degree in its sentiment and purpose.
for it is tie story ofa noble woman's
generous self sacrifice to save the
name and honorof the man she loves.
1t is all very well to speak OF the
realism Of Iola. Ibsen, Daudet and
others, but that realism tastes Of the
hot house, and smells OF the fcyered
state OF society, whereas the realism
OF such plays as Credit Lorraine. =
has the wholesome atmosphere OF
the meadow, which, though 1t may
not be as fervid, is far more healthy.
Credit Lorraine as presented by
Lillian LEWIS IL one of those PLAYS
that does good to men and women
too. for ii not only furnishes them
with an evenings amusement but
makes them better men and women.
Miss Lewis won her greatest laurels
IN the representation of Lenora In
Credit Lorraine attached to her
self more genuiae friends by enacting
this drama, than In any OF her other
plays. But great as is this great
artistic in this representation, she
has by no means the only great
charm-actor, for all the parts in this
drama are character parts and ex-
cellent ones at that, and all built on
the realism of the realistic school.
Everybody remembers old Lustig.

such high regard as to pay her the
same prices they would pay to see

same as heretofore for reserved
seats. The subject of regular prices
was presented to Mr.. Fitzpatrick by
the Manager Of the Opera-house and

weakened, but made his action
subject to the ratification OF Miss
Lewis manager. Reserved seats for
this engagement will go on sale Mex
