The charming petite comedy, "The
Morning CALL" was excellently rendered
by the two performers. Mr.. Pickles was
easy and graceful and showed to great ad-
vantage a. Sir Ed,card ardent. His gen.
tlemanly abandon and uerestrained manner
accorded we'll with the character Of tho
somewhat concsited but high-toned baronet.
Miss Ha~ thorne was most effective as the
volatile and sarcastic widow.
The drama of "Nobody's Child" was
presented with strong cast. The play
was produced in a manner creditable not
merely to amateurs, but worthy Of the best
efforts of professionals. Mr.. Buck infused
into the character of Joe pathetic reality
that met with spontaneous recognition
from the large and critical audience.
Mr.. Buck is o young amateur who has
been more successful perhaps than any one
of our young fellow w-citizens who essay tho
sock and buskin. He is ambitious and
sometimes trifle too daring. The persona
ticn of Joe (Nobody's Child) yesterdsy will
bear the most exacting Analysis. 1t was
complete triumph, and in this particular
character Mr.. Buck need fear no rival, even
among the best professionals.
Miss Hawthorne agreeably surprised tho
audience by her Interpretation Of the char
| acter OF Patty Lavrock. Many had thought
| her style of acting too cold and digni1ed
| to meet the requirements of the impetuous
and warm-hearted Patty. But Miss Haw-
thorne's versatility and ability we're never
better shown than by yesterday g perform
| ance. The elimination Of the second act
was a triumph of artistic ability, and to
Miss Hawthorne must be accorded full
credit for bringing out the salient features
| of a character that demands the portrayal
of quiet earnestness grated on girlish inn
petuosity.
Mr.. Beanham enacted the part of Peter
Griee with more than his usual ability. He
divested himself of the personality that on
occasion detracts from his person ations,
and yesterday gave US capital bit of char
acter acting, well conceived and splendidly
rendered. Mr.. Souby, who sustained the
rather ungrateful role of Captain Laso''by,
showed himself quite equal to the demand
made upon him. He delineated the char
acter of the handsome, unprincipled, ruined
and desolate gamester with easy noncha-
lance and life-like correctness.
Miss Minnie Doyle made quite as much o.
the part of Lucy Iregarvon as could bt
done. Her acting in the closing scene wal
particularly effective, and contributed II
great part to the success of the piece.
The other characters were creditably sus
tanned, Messrs. NJ. D. Gardner, Alf. I
Baker, G. Santini, John Cairn, John Il
Hisgen and A. H. Mitchell acting will
Judgment and discretion.
Taken altogether, yesterdays perform
ance by the Orleans Dramatic Association
was most creditable to those taking par
therein, and a pleasure to those who attend
ed as spectators.
A very large audience was present. an
testified their approval by frequent ar
plause.
