John McCullough.


The engagement of Mr. John McCullough next week promises to be a highly successful one. Mr. McCullough is without question the greatest tragic actor of the present century. He brings to his work of delineating character a high degree of intelligence to which has been added a diligent study of both history and tradition, so that a correct appreciation of the various roles may be obtained. He has, in consequence, been enabled to present to the public a finished conception of each of the [portraitures] he essays. A master of the art of elocution, studied in all the details of stage business, and fully versed in all the minutiae of the costumery that marked the ages in which the plot of the dramas he presents lie, he gives to the public a production vastly superior to that of any actor who now treads the stage. On his forthcoming visit to St. Paul he will be supported by a company of superior actors and actresses, all of whom are well versed in their respective roles. It is a matter of congratulation that Mr. McCullough has realized more money the present season than any other actor in the country.
