Miss Howard, Mr. Hooks, and Mr. Malet represent the new dispensation at the Charles, which has taken to bringing in New York actors of some reputation. (The mainstays of their former permanent company have gone to seek their fortunes in New York.) The improvement over the recent, thrown-together productions on Warrenton Street is noticeable, and, as they say, it augurs well...
