Since her appearance here, she lias become n
decided favorite.
Her Admirable personation nf tho highest
range nf character both in Comedy and Trnge
dy lu - proved thit she has hUlrimiic powers of
the first order.
To-night she appears as “Mariana" ill Knowles*

first pro nntation in 1&33. this play at once
took the first rank in llm acting drams, which,
it has since sustained. The Author him*clf de

brilliant audience to-night.
