was tinge OF yulgarism which marred the CON-
plctcncss OF his acting, but in those scenes where
the more broadly humorous replaced the quieter
touches M owens acted with great felicity. The
scene with the strong minded MISS Crane
was capitaly rendered, as was his interview with

Despite the proiundity OF recent political
reve.ations and all their concomitant novelties,
'.seagehlng tue Depths" as produced on Monday
night rather sia riled the crowded assemhaRe
that thronsed the aforementioned historic estab-
lisnlnenL Without going elaborasey into
the merits Of the drama, It II enough
to say that it was sufficiently startling,

attenIicn o. all the nistrionlc students present,
and It Il almost needless to add that tho piece
met with unDounded success. Judging from
the demonstrations from all parts OF the house,
s'searcning the Depths" went ~ the bottom OF

the bowery 1t must be said that the piece was pre-
sented IN q manner that would have done credit
