THE BELLE OF THE SEASON, AT THE WINTER GARDEN.Miss
Matilda Heron appeared at the Winter Garden wednes
day evening" in her own play, The Belle Of the Season."
The play is called American, but it is so only in
It's plot is not very evident but the characters old
acquaintances with and dresses. There Is
great deal Of Claude Menotte and Pauline with wealth
substituted for rank and lawyers for soldiers There IL
little of Lord Dundreary, which Mr.. Charles Waloot,
Jr does WELL The moral-that love conquers pride and
that poverty and wealth equal far the heart ia
concerned-is upset by the denouement, which makes
all the poor people rich that they may marry tho
proud folks. The play is we'll written, but poorly
sructed and abounds with good situations la Francois,
but lacks dramatic incidents 1t has in Short all the
garing faults, peculiar excelsnces and curious and
subtle interest OF Miss Herons style OF acting.
Miss Heron can more write her parts than she
make her dresses. Her character of the Belle s
mst many sizes too small for her. and her elocuton is
than Still her fascinating energy carries
her through and impresses the audience strongly
when she played hero in better parts two years ago.
Mr. Barton Hill carried Off tho honors Of the play, and
secured its success by eciting tremendous burst Of
applause and unanimous call before the curtain the
fourth-and best-act. An actor's powers severely
tested by character rdcuously exaggerated that
of Harloil; and Mr. HIPS in ensting the SYM
pathy OF the audience and causing rantg speeches
to seem natural, proves his ability aud careful
study. Mrs. Gladstone, Philadelphia and Boston favor
ito, made her debut but the melodramatc part of Molly
Hardto was unsuted to this excellent coincidence and
she had not even the privilege of being handsome Mr
A. H. Davenport acted admirably. The other parts
we'll filed. Tho scenery is advertised but it is
apparently the rainbow coored trash familiar to every
habitue. The dresses are tasteful and appropriate.
Altogether, the play is peculiar ana well acted
that it will attract attention and have rum although it
c'nnot legitimately be cauod success
