Margaret Fuller appeared at the Frothlngham last night in "The Prin cess of Bagdad." She has surrounded herself with a good company, but) there seems to be a lack of scope in the play for her genius and her acting. She is a beautiful woman, and there is a nat uralness and absence of artificiality about her which destine to make her a compeer of Fanny Davenport and Mod Jeska. There Is not enough In the play to employ the gifts of the versatile dra matic power which she gives evidence of possessing. It Is too bounded and affords her only breadth enough to display herself in a limited sphere. However, she was given a most lib eral reception, not in the size of the audience, but in the complete assur ance that she was fully appreciated. "The Princess of Bagdad" is by Dumas, and it was translated and adapted by William Young, author of "The Ra jah" and other dramatic works. Miss Fuller assumed the character of Lion et te, the princess, and Thomus L. Coleman made a capital Nourvady. Ed win Nalod, as Richard, the attorney; and Master Ralph Adams, as Raoul, child of Jean and Lionette; and George D. Mclntyre, as Jean, the husband of Lionette, are worthy of special men tion.

Beldleman, the bookman, gave a pos ter show in his holiday quarters next to Connolly & Wallace's on Washington avenue last evenins. It was attended by over a thousand people between 8 and 11 o'clock, and was pronounced a success. Lawrence's orchestra fur nished music throughout the evening. A poster show is a novelty In Scran ton. It' is nothing more than a collec tion of the different kinds of posters is sued by the various publishing houses that make a specialty of illustrated work. The lesson to be tauaht by a poster show Is the advance made in this line of work. Years ago posters were got up In very simple style. They were only a pes in advance of the .handbill or dodger.' With each succeeding year it grew more and more a fad of pub lishing houses to adopt the most ar tistic handiwork In getting up posters to advertise new books and magazine stories. Mr. Beldleman had on exhibition over 300 posters, some of them rare and val uable. There was one of Napoleon on hoiseback that can be sold in New York for $10 and it has the appearance of being worth no more than goat food; but it is on account of its obseleteness thut it has a value in excess of its in herent value. The posters will be on exhibition during the holiday season. The store will be Mr. Beidleman's holi day place of business and will be opened from now until the season ends. Some of the posters represented the work of such well known artists as A. E. Abbey. Penfleld, Gibson, Will Brad ley and Carqueville.
