Dramatic Review: First number of the new Dramatic Review reached me this morning, and I have stolen a little time from business to-day to peruse it. You have certainly done yourselves proud.

Sincerely yours, Clement Wilder. ¥ San Francisco Dramatic Review, gentlemen:— We desire to compliment you on your first issue of your publication.

The Webster Vaudeville Co. who gave a successful performance a fewweeks ago, are shortly to present a stirring melodrama, ' ' The Mountain Waif." The piece is under the management of I. Henry Spiro, and the cast will be made up of a picked company of amateurs. It does not seem to be generally known, even to the fraternity, that Ingomar, the Barbarian, was written by Maria Anne Lowell, and first produced at Durry Lane, in 185 1. It was a translation from the German. Those who had the pleasure of seeing Miss Florence Roberts in the character of Parthenia, can readily understand why the play is such a great favorite. Lizzie B. Raymond opened at the Tivoli in London, on August Bank Holiday, for six weeks, and scored an immense hit. She has booked up her time until June, 1900, and will return to America in Septeml>er, 1900, to join Robert Fulgora's Company. Miss Raymond writes that all of the American artists now in London are doing splendidly. Letter List Members of the theatrical profession may ha'be letters addressed in care of this office.
