another large audience. The play was
hardly as good as the one of the previous

OF the best actresses that has ever made
her appearance on the local stage-Yas
especially fine. She is beautiful, grace
fui, charming, yes as lovely as the day is
long, at all times, and plays her part in o
most brilliant manner Her every word,
move and gesture stamps her as being
one of the finest and cleverest actresses
appearing on the American stage at the
present time-not even excepting those
now appearing in the big theatres in such
cities as New York, Chicago, Baltimore,
Philadelphia. Cincinnati, Milwaukee. st
Louis: Atlanta, San Francisco. and else
where. No words of commentator that
