A
of Lady Isabel Carlyle and Madam
Vine. The performance was good
one, and gave general satisfaction,
but did not excite any great degree
Of enthusiasm. True, the play was
one more calculated to work upon
the sympathies of the human heart
than to excite the admiration of the
audience for any character persona
ted; vet Miss Price won greater
laurels as MAIDEN Vine than on the
evening previous as Fanchon. As
Lady Isabel Carlyle there was an alb
sence of that mechanical facial ex-
preston which sometimes a the
beauty of some of her personations;
and. as Madam Vine, although she
BETRAYED too much feeling and was
too tragic in manner in the first part
of the death scene of the child, the
latter part of the same cen was rem
dered faultlessly. The exhibition of
too much feeling and a too tragic
name mt the bedside OF the sick
child betrayed in Madam Vine the
true character of Lady Isabel land

was somewhat thrown off his guard
thereby, and marred the fine effect
the revelation would have had upon
the audience afterward: besides, il
showed r lack Of perception Of the
true intent of the author. Such
faults are excusable in n stock ac-
tress-but not in a star of the first
magnitude. as Miss Price comes her
aided. The rendition of both char
a%cters, however, was in the main
pleasing and reasonably artistic.
Pierpont Thayer's Archibald CARLYLE
was goodwill of feeling, earnest.
and true to nature. Sir Francis

ter. was so admirably rendered by
Charles Edmonds that one could al
most admire the scoundrcl repre-
scented. Miss Jennie Vaudeville did
full Justice TO the character of Bar

dicnce a furious storm of applause
by her sweet and plaintive rendition
OF the beautiful song, Then You'll

and vas frequently greeted by APP

will appear as Leah. the forsaken
Jewess. in the thrilling tragedy OF
that title.
