a large audience in attendance last evening The
interest of this play is much the same as that which
attaches to East Lynne, but it has nothing of that
dissgreeable morbldness OF tone that characterzes

some, and more attractive in every way The man
ner in which it Is performed by Miss Keene and her
company brings out all its strong points, and holds
the attention OF the audience from first to last The
