The performance of Clothes this evening and tomorrow afternoon and evening by the Eleanor Cleveland stock company will be the oeca sion of crowded houses. for the play is ex- ceedingly popular. and the work of the n1ernb bers of the cast is giving excel lent satisfaction in every way. Miss Cleveland has one of the most pleas ing roles as Olivia Sherwood she has shown us this season. and Harry Ing ram; John Carroll, Miss Lewis. Miss Rochts, and several others of the conl- pany are equally well placed There is not fault in the whole production and. the thousa nds who have witness in their praise.
 There are etill few seats left for any any one Of the three performances. buf they will be taken long before the time, for the curtain.
 The story, of '.The reutzer so- coming week, is one of the most in teresting and absorbing ever told on the stage. : It is a tale of human emo tiona, of. intense interest, and worth a moral lesson Of great benefit to man kind in general. Yet it is in no sense sermon, but a thoroughly will be witnessed with great delight

 with extreme care and fidelity to life. In every one of them. the nearer will see a counterpart in real life, and the principal characters are such as will enlist the sympathies of all Miss Cleveland, as Miriam Friedlander, will have character which will require her opportunities for emotional efforts such are afforded in few plays on the stage. It is role which is ex- ceedingly difficult of correct portrayal but if she will he fOIIn6 IT "a V apt.
 Harry Ingram will be cast as the which will be just suited to him, and in which he will do even superior work to that seen from him in t'The Battle, last week. It is 8 character and a nfcety of handling which would be foreign to most stock actors, but which Mir. Ingram is we'll fitted to provide. He is an artist of. unusual talents, as he has shown in many of the roles which he has presented this season. There is an individuality about MT. Ingram's work which stamps it as far out of the ordinary. and which places his work above that of the ordi- nary leading man. It is pleasure a1- ways to witness his efforts, which he always employs to the best purpose. aand always to the complete satfsfac- tion of his audiences
 Jaclz' CarrolIS part of Gregor Fiddler will be another excellent piece of character work, and great things are expected from him, in which he surely will not disaproint the most sanguine of his admirers Miss Krieghoff, who has made herself a great faVorfte here, will have fine part as the young false sister, Celia Fried1ander, and she will give an ac- count of herself which will raise her greatly in the estimation of her friends.
 Miss Lewis, in the role of Nataska. the faithful friend of the FTied1an ders, will be seen probably with the great est effect she has enjoyed since her appearance with the Eleanor CieVe- land company, and there are num- Der of other characters in the play which are almost equal in importance. The play for a fine stage equipment Miss Cleveland's managers will surely | provide. as they have done in all her productions this season. The seats | are selling rapidly for the week, and there is a Scertadnty of packed audiences at every performance.
