theatre this week. 1t seems superflous tn
fpSak at length Of the excellence of the
company that Manager McCullum has en-
gagged this season, In the three plays
presented since the season opened each
has demonstrated that they possess talents
diversified and brilliant and for their fine

warmest praise. This week, however,
they are proving themselves TO be artists
Of the highest standard and in "Led
