GLOBE THEATRE. Miss Cavendish, who has been appearing here during the last week as "Mercy Merrick," is an actress of great beauty, and fine stage presence. Her enunciation is beautifully clear and distinct, so much so that in quiet passages it is a real pleasure to listen to her.

In the support Mrs. Seguin easily leads, and her singing and acting are as enjoyable as ever. Messrs. Tom Karl and Castle are fairly successful in their roles. The stage setting and general ensemble leave...
