It is hardly necessary to say that Mr. Lee is the greatest artist in his line in this country. He has made some improvements in his act, and has over-come the tedium of long waits making-up in full view of the audience. The stage is hung entirely in red. He comes on and makes his announcement, and then the curtains are pulled from the center in the rear showing a room entirely in green, in which he makes-up assisted by three attendants dressed in white. This makes the act something of a novelty, avoiding any waits, and, I think, adds materially to the effect of his work. He went very strong this afternoon, making an especially big hit with his impersonation of Grant, Lee, Croker, and Mark Twain.
