fourds besutlfui traeedy Of Io wau performed last

classic creation contains apostle Image; every ren-
tcnce givcaan actor an opportunity ibr . gracffu
posture. Spoken as We have heard thom, the verses
are verbal music; enacted as we have seen II, tho
play Is an intellectual and an auricular banquet.
Ion Is like statue complete IN itself and beauti

overdone, II looses al ts symmetry aud becomes
almost hideous. Annette Ince played the, leading
ecived; but she lacks vocal power and finish. In
many places she did not read the text and thus the
poetic beauties Of the play were marred.
Annie Waite played ''Ciemanthe" very fairly, but
she persists in using her hands In gesture indiscrmi
nately. almost absurdly. The remaining characters
were indlnerently performed, and the performance,
| whole, rather unsatisfactory. This evening
Miss Inco will appear Jennie Deans" in the
drama of The Hedst Of he d-LOthian.

James Is an agreeable woman aud charming vo-
caliat her voice d exquisite In sweetness and while
she sngs the auditor thrillswith her love-notes
weeps in sympathy with her musical tears for,
strange IL may seem, her tones full of tears
and hor accents top-full Of tenderness. The audi

an excellent one, and among the number we notice
