There was a freedom of action that align rod for good, but theie was not the same aleitness to the smaller details which go to make or unmake a perfoiiiiance.

A gleat tiee In the finest was shown to bo made of two halves, at least tluee Inches apait -all because the scenery manipulator failed to push a little haidei. Seveial times when the cm tain went up, men In convict stripes weie still ariangiiig tlm stage propeitles, and when an onooio was demanded of the ballet and the curtain was lolled up, theoichestia had gone to sleep, and. the danceis weie visibly em-bauasscd. em-bauasscd.

The lines were spoken better, if possible, than on Monday night, and there was not the stillness manifested. Itosalind was the same captivating, altogether enchanting creatine of the other performance and won as many new friends as theie were new faces in the audience.
