i The only fault that could be found wa
that the performance was atritie tor
long, There were no tedious waits be
! tween the acts. and tn, scenes followed
one another in such rapid succession thai
| there was no chance for the audience t.
tire. Had the curtain been rung w
promptly at s O'Clock the play wonli
doubtless have been concluded more near
" the usual hour of dismissing theatre
aud fences. With 300 people to handle ane
all of them amateurs, it was not to b.
wondered at that the beginning of thu
cpering night was somewhat delayed
! That matter will be remedied, no doubt
SO that in the succeeding performances
there will be no cause for criticism
Zephra will be the attraction at the
Jefferson till the end of the week.
