ROSE COGHLAN AT THE HOLLIS. - Miss Rose Coghlan announces for her brief engagement at the Hollis, which begins Monday, January 21, her new play, "Princess Walanoff," by Mrs. Romualdo Pacheco. This gifted authoress has had several of her dramatic works produced with great success, particularly on the Pacific coast, where she is a more conspicuous figure in literary and art circles than in the East. Mrs. Pacheco believes she has provided Miss Coghlan with a part that is essentially suited to her brilliant comedy and emotional capabilities.

...consists of seven short stories. They are not likely to keep one awake nights with excitement, but are, nevertheless, very entertaining, being (for the most part) quiet rural tales, written in an easy, "chatty" fashion, the pages of which contain many a charming glimpse of home-life. Indeed, the authoress possesses a remarkable faculty of sketching upon the page the pleasant characteristics of New England life, and the stories are the more interesting for the degree to which they appeal to one's own experience. In point of literary workmanship, the tales vary to some extent. The second...
