The fcene OF this very interesting play is
laid in the Paris OF the present day, aud rests
upon foundation simple enough, but out Of
which there grows three acts Astounding in
many points OF Interest and situations almost
absorbing. "kaymonde," the wife OF the
"Commander Montaiglin," seduced before
marriage by "Monsieur Octave, has child,
"Adrienne," whom she edueates audeares for
as a iOundiiDg, with tue fathers cOnniVance
and consent, and who thus becomes her moth
sr's secret sorrow, the burden of her lie. soc
tave," desiring 10 marry MADAME 6 uichard,'
a rich young widow, makes a confession Of
the parentage of the child 20 her, and She, de-
string 10 possess herself OF IT, goes 70 the house
OF the Commander" and makes her wishes
known. This brings the confession from the
mother to her husband, and he, a noble sold
salt" OF the impossible sort, furgiVes and be-
comes the media of preventing the sep
aratloD OF the repenJant ana contrite
mother and her child. The third act sees the
deeds drawn aud the eliminating denoue-
out of the house, the rich widow lndorsing
the operation, and scene OF happi ness Of
which the comm ander, his wife, her child
and the widow are the living figures. The
widow is a spIightly, Joyous, devil-me- care
sort OF creature, very nnely gotten up as 90
toggery, but very prononce as 10 manners.
she is. of course, gOOd-hearted. ana always
means well and IN what She Dies aud says
that Is good relieves the obirusive Ioudness
that is a result of her iowly origin. That rs
what Miss Diekie Lingard makes Of Il. "Ray-
monde is presented with the same care as 10
make up, grace and nulSn as always dis
tuguishes Mrs. Lingard, and II only She could
infect and.defiect- her voice a little,and break
once in a while upon the mOnotOnOu., nelan-
cnoiy drawl that spOils a clear, iucisive pro-
nunciaiion, she would increase the list OF her
friends. A woman otherwise so excellent an
8Itrtss should free herself of this ulcmlsh.
Mr.. Sendelbeck cOmmends himself more and
more upon acquaintance, as does Mr.. IOltOn,
who adapted himself TO tue character OF the
6laSe rOUe with something akin 70 fidelity.
The other actors were well up, and IN the
little they had 20 do proved themselves well
suited to their positions. Miss Newman as
"AdTienne," vas the gem OF the evening. she
has most pleasing voice, reals g ell acts ike
an Old stager, and in all things dep3rted her
self as II born TO the stage, The one scene
which forms the setting OF None. AtphOnSe,
was a very elegant combination OF various
aesthetic Stage effects which appealed FOR the
managers efforts to second the Lingards In
proper and appreciative presentation Of the
plays which comprise their TepeTt0lrc. Inc
music also, was good. iuu6ed, ever bOuy en-
gagged, on the stage and in The orchestra,
seemed TO vie one with the other in
a determination after success. The character
sketches OF Liugard were OF course good. The
Suddenness OF his transitions was something
wonderful, and his characieEl zations delight
ed the audience immeasurahly. Tonight we
are 10 have GdTTtck, and, We hope, to a crowd
ed hOuse he Lingard combination richly
deserve all we can do for them in that way.
