The Kfralfys have evidently every reason to feel
satisfied with their enterprise In the "Deluge.n
Though placed upon the stage under numerous
and annoying disadvantages the piece has proved
attractive and successful. The attendance at the
theatre since the opening night has been
steadily ana uniformly good, so that
the management has received encouragement
to persevere in the same direction OF enter

OF the play moves more intelligibly and
much OF the cumbersome '.flling inn

Mrs. Conway's Brooklyn Theatre.
Mrs. D. P. Bowers has finished her series OF
favorite roles at Mrs. Conway's Brooklyn Theatre
and opens tomorrow night in new play, entitled
has earned an enviable reputation as
an artistic, and is always warmly well
coined In Brooklyn. Her performance OF Lady
Audley is one or those rare evidences OF genius
that occasionally mark brilliant passages in the
history OF the stage. In the legitimate DRAMA too
Mrs. Bowers is foremost leader, and 1t Is much to
be regretted her provincial engagements prevent
her from becoming more Intimately acquainted
with the New York public. One OF the greatest
necessities Of our stage at the present moment is
p9ny, where actresses OF Mrs. Bowers standing
cOuld appear In their own pieces and parts they
have made their own by study and practice. We
are frequently treated t. nnrrsd pre-

are ladies OF emnence In the list Of our dramaCic
stars VINO have devoted their time and talents
to the perfection OF certain parts and plays,
VINO are almost strangers to New York au-
diences though the large provincial cities annually

the public may well ask, when both are to be

not treated to them ofteners 1t may be
the audience had taste OF the more perfected art
OF some OF our best stars, or 1t may be, which is
more probable, the stars find the large interior
cities more profitable and agreeable. Mrs. Bowers
could tnfuse better and healthier tone
into our city drama. Mrs. Conway might
now and again crafty some OF the many
people she at present inveigles to Brooklyn at
their own homes. Mrs. Landor Is too rarely seen
and we might go on over long list OF honored
names. or all other acts the dramatic is the most
completely periodical In its mutabllity. To-day
the society or "Dry Goods Drama" holds the
board. Ii Is to be hoped the turn OF talent Will
come next, and the censure OF the public will be
changed into hearty applause.
