And of Mix Jondan's Desdemona, also, we cannot speak in too emphatic terms. She was an ideal picture of the runr,, poelic, Venetia maiden, who saw "Otello visage in his mind."

We warmly congra tulate Miss Jordan alike on her conception of Desdemona and on her superb dressing, Bath she and Mr Miln throughout the evening appeared in a succession of strikingly rich and handsome costumes, which fact reflects credit upon their taste and their liberality. The same high, though amply deserved praise must be accorderi Miss Kate Douglas for her performance as Emilin; indeed this lady has established her reputation as a high-class actress so firmly here, that she is invariably one of the central Egures on the stage whenever she appears.
