a crowded house, with Thomas E. Depew
as the star" We have witnessed Joe
Jefferson's version of this character and
VIC must confess we liked Mr.. Depew's
version fully as well. All the other char
acters were well taken and deserve q
more extended notice but space forbds
The specialties were of q very pleasing
nature, and the large audience seemingly
enjoyed them judging by the loud and
continued laughter and when Miss Min
nie Dupree gave her dance the house
went wild and they called her back many
times. This little lady is one OF TIE
finest ''ateppers'' that will ever visit
here, as we do not think she has an
equal ON the English or merican stage
This afternoon they have matinee.
