heroine, Miss Anna Held, remembered
it with pleasure, and this accounted
for the very large audience which as
sembled at the fremont theater last
night to welcome the second season Of
the play in Boston. Miss Held was very
pretty, as oharmingly dressed as chic
as of yore. From her Partisan coiffure
to her shapely little shoes, she was
daintiness itself, and her ease, grace
and vivacity were delightful. Her
smiles and her accent never lose their
fascination, and her acting was char
acterized by q brilliancy and versa
tility which could not fail to please.
The unsttnted applause given her in
"Papa's WIFE last night, and the way
in which every movement was watched
by the audience were evidence enough
of her power. Her songs, too, were rem
dered quite as charmingly as We're
those famous French verses which so
many thousands went to hear. AT the
conclusion of the second act she was
presented with a very elaborate basket
Of flowers. Mr.. Bigelow, the comedian,
was never more amusing than he was
last night. Ris facial contortions and
vocal quavers were irresistible. Just
to look at him is to laugh. He certainly
shares with Miss Held the honor Of
making "Papa's Wife" one of the fun
niest and gayest plays now on the
stage The music of the play is of the
jolly order, but hardly worthy of it's

Mrs Fisl5e will appear at the Hype-
rion on Wednesday and Thursday
nights in Becky Sharp. The great
scene of the Duchess of Rlchmonds
ball in Becky Sharp is so fully peo-
pied that in comparison the other
scenes of the play naturally attract less
attention. yet the other scenes are in
line with that historic accuracy that |
characterizes the modern stage produc-
ton of the first class. At the time in
which the first act moves the Queen |
Anne style was very popular in Eng |
land, and the interior Of Miss CrawIey's |
house represented in Becky Sharp Is |
a faithful representation of the draw |
ing room of the period. All the details, |
faithful to the most artistic effort of |
these days in the theater. are lost to |
general view when they are employed |
as they are in Mrs Fiskes play owing
to the more popular interest that at
taches to the play itself as it is acted |
by Mrs. F'islSe and her admirable com
pany. Seats now selling. Prices So,
