Florence St. John and the London Gaiety Company end their season at the Tremont theatre this week. Miss St. John's popularity with Boston audiences continues to increase, and the last week is likely to prove the most successful of the engagement...
...Like it.Julia Marlowe and company began a two week's engagement at the Hollis St. theatre last evening, presenting "As You Like it." Miss Marlowe is a beautiful Rosalind, and invests the part with a subtle charm that is irresistible.

Miss Sheridan as Fifi Oritanski is the most natural, while Mr. Booth as Victor Smythe hardly makes the best of a poor part. Mr. Wilson is comical as Tom McDow, and excites constant laughter by his acting...
