the cases of the comedians. Edwin as

Beckett, as Elizabeth, a queen Of many de-
cided points. Miss Thompson. without
being too prominent, was the central figure
OF the piece in the person OF the dashng
Earl of Leicester. who captivates alike the
humble maiden and his royal mistress.
Miss Weathersby. as the lovely and loving
Amy Robsnrt, looked the part to perfection.
Her singing was admirably rendered,
especially the "Bolero,' in the first scene.
and her subsequent duet with Warmer.
Beckett's song of the "Cobbler,' with imi-
tations of animals, met with great favor.
