the contrary, in view of her cordial rcla.
tions with both the United States and
Denmark. she is willing to waive hei
rights over Santa Cruz, MS France values
her friendship with these two countries
far more highly than any claims she may

The engs cement Of Madame Modjeska
next Saturday night week is OF course
the all absorbing topic among p aygoers
just now. Universally acknowledged as
the greatest artist on the English speaking
stage, supported by the famous actor,
john Il. Kellerd, and a company OF
sterling merit, and with serits of
scenic produ lions nntqua'ed perhaps,
except by Henry Irving, 1t is in order to
view her advent as the big event OF the
season. The chance OF seeing her again
in this section is rat her remote in view
of her oft threatened retirement, and in
any event it is not likely to recur in
many years on account Of the large terri
try she has to cover. With an artist of
Modiegkas fame, it is OF comparative in
differel ce what play is selected, for after
all it is herself that is the attraction. The
local Infringement have been TO some
pains to discover which play is most in
demand and announce "Macbetli' as
the popular choice. Nothing will be
wanting in the way of scenic effects and
other details to provide that artistic illu-
sion SO desirable for perfect perform
ance.
