to adopt the stage for profession, the sooner
she gets rid of it the better. We
feel called upon to make these remarks
because Miss Pierson played in a manner that
entities her to something more than merely
complimentary notice. and we are doing her
better service by pointing oat some of her def
ciencies rather than by alluding merely to her
merits. Taking her pauline" as an artistic
effort, 1t was better than we have seen from
some actresses who have trod the stage for years,
and it is especially to be commended for its lady
like grace and dignity. If Miss Pierson is able to
perform any of the other leading roles of the
standard drama in as creditable man.
ner as she did pauline" last even
ing, she will be entitled to take'a place at once
upon the stage which few actresses are able to
obtain except after years of struggle with the
difficulties of their profession.
