Miss Jessie Maker, a radiantly beauti ful little girl, who wears rich, tilutv eos tames. ami who dances tot . rather, floats) witfi an indescribable grace, was the real favorite with last night's audience. She has only two real opportunities, in the first ami last acts, and she was kept bust answering encores, anti did so with ah evident relish. She plays an obscure part of an Italian girl, and her languidly grace ful dancing fitted the part exactly. "Miss Nobody From Starland" is far from a great show, but it should not be judged by its first act. lire the second act was well on its wav last night, the audience was mirthfully forgetful of its opener.
