Viola Allen will appear in this city on

great actresses of the past, hardly without
exception. have essayed the character of
Julia It is just such character as Miss
Allen would be likely to choose, since Julia
is none of your modern Magdaienes or dis
reputable Mrs. Ebbsmiths; but girl OF fine
temper, high spirits and noble heart. A
presentation of such an old favorite char
acter by so popular an actress as Viola
Allen should revive many delightful MEM
cries Of the past. Many old-timers will be
able to draw interesting comparisons. Miss
Allen will be supported by very fine COM
pany and the costumes and scenery, pro-
vided by Liebler & Co.. will be of
first quality. Eben Plympton will enact
Master Walter, and Jamison Lee Finney
will represent Modus. Miss Allen will ap-

arrived at the track on their respective

were sUmptuously dressed, for all four of
them are vastly rich in their own right and
well known in New York society. The two

and chatted over the chances of the horses
while their wives sat close to each other
on the lawn seats, holding their little
