Hearing of Miss Blair's phenominal success throughout America, every means has been used to secure her and her company to give her great successes here. As we have not had the pleasure of having an actress of Miss Blair's ability and fame for some time, especially to present such excellent plays, doubtless she will be warmly received by large audiences at each performance. Miss Blair has consented to give one matinee, which will occur on Saturday afternoon, at which time she will be seen in her famous portrayal of Lady Isabel and Madam Vine in East Lynne.

The tenderness of her last adieu as the fatal disease racks her fevered frame was invested with all ths sweetness that Dumas wrought into the character of Camille. Philadelphia In the emotional scenes Miss Blair was simply great, and Star. in the third act when leaving Armand in accordance with her oath to Monsieur Duval, her portrayal of the hysterical, weeping and laughing woman was ivo. lerful. Then again in the fourth act in the ball room scene, when Armand heaps up his reproaches on Camille, Miss Blair's acting was splendid. / r- i WASHINGTON.
