...joint work of Brander Matthews and George Jessop and is numbered among the most legitimate of Mr. Goodwin's successes, and it is rarely that a more pleasing comedy is presented. It is at once clean, wholesome, pathetic and merry, without a dull scene in it. The plot is well sustained throughout, and culminates joyously, enlisting the fine sympathies of one's nature and sends the audience away with a sense of keen and clean delight. "In Mizzoura" is well known, having been produced more recently than "The Gold Mine," and those who remember Mr. Goodwin's superb impersonation...
...works produced with great success, particularly on the Pacific coast, where she is a more conspicuous figure in literary and art circles than in the East. Mrs. Pacheco believes she has provided Miss Coghlan with a part that is essentially suited to her brilliant comedy and emotional capabilities.

Mr. George Alison will be seen as Viscount Litterly, Mr. Beaumont Smith as the Count De-Greville, and Mr. Lorrimer Stoddard as the Earl of Tweenways. It is unnecessary to sketch the plot of "The Amazons," but it is sufficient to say that the comedy is dainty and sparkling, and there is no reason why "The Amazons" should not make a decided hit on this, its second visit, as on its first...
...country. The Play is Molieere's version of the Phormio of Terence. The main features of the old comedy have been retained, but more life and movement have been added. Moliere's play also has far more of the modern ideas and situations than Phormio. The characters and the plot are as follows: Argante and Geronte are two old men. Octave and Leandre are two young fellows; Octave is the son of Argante and Leandre of Geronte. Zerbinette and Hyacinthe are two young girls. The first was captured when very little by gypsies and brought up by them...
