Varieties "who enters here leaves care be

individual may be, an evening before the bril-
liant footights of that elegant theater viii
certainly dissipate the clouds of unrest by the
intensity of interesting dramatic pictures pre-
sented.
The thorough ventilation, acoustic quail.
ties and superb scenery, leaving out of view
the classical acting Of the present company,
are sufficient to attract any one of esthetical
tastes. If this be true Of the theater itself,
how much more SO is it when that careful
and eminent actor, Lawrence Barrett, is
present on the boards. The house last night
which greeted this rising artist was one GER

The orchestra chairs, dress circle and fam

ACADEMY OF MUsIC-Last night Miss |
Lucille Western appeared in one of her best
characters, Leah the Forsaken, to very re-
spectacle sized audience. Her rendition of |
the forsaken Jewess was an admirable por-
trayal Of feeling and dramatic effect. Emo.
tional and highly pathetic parts are particu-
larly adapted to Miss Westerns abilities.
In strong situations there is a power of
passion and NATURALIZATION of the character
displayed that never fails to animate the au-
aience. Mr.. Whalleys support was fully in
keeping with his reputation as painstaking
md excellent actor. The piece throughout
AN very smoothly. Mr.. Knowless rendition
If Rudolph was especially worthy of notice.
The company all enacted their roles in very
