Dolaro, who plays in the title-role, is a charming actress, and a very pretty woman. Miss Williams plays her part very cleverly. Next week, "La Fille du Tambour Major," by the same company. October 25, "Voyagers...

The piece is full of good situations, and is amusing throughout. Monday, 18th, Mr. Joseph Jefferson opens with a strong company in "The Rivals." There can be no doubt that his Bob Acres will be very good...
