MUSIC AND DRAMA,
HENRIETTA CRosMAN.

HENRIETTA CROSMAN-
No dramatic attraction ever billed for

the subject of so much public attention.
The Sword of the King has been pro-
nounced by the dramatic writer's in New
York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and
other cities as offering Miss CrOsman
the best opportunity of any play in
