During one weck this Play was pro- duced simultaneously in New York, Boston, Phila- delphia, Buffalo and St. Louis, The cast to-night 1s identical with that of the first performance, and during the 150 nights neither sicknes? nor any. other cause has interiered with tne efficiency or original strength of Divorce.” Mr. Daly does not purpose taking the play off until the public desire 80, and considering the orders in advance, there 18 not the slightest doubt but ‘what “ Divorce ’” wil pass its two Dundredth night triumphantly, The programmes to-night will be printed in gold upon white satin, with scroll and gold fringe, and they Wiil be ® marvel of artistic excellence.
