The lady who assumes the part OF An'a
Dorothy is tnte ligent aad fcrcble enough. Ihc
acting Of Miss Gilman a. Raiteh Is the best IN
the play. She has not only the powers OF =
oomedieune, but excellent dramatic sense IN
melodxama. Her scene with Aao1 on breaking
the nsws Of the child's recovery, III
which there is no chance for comic az
tion,s is one Of the truest and most Gel
cate1Y done In the whole Eeptes1n
tation. The little passage at arms With IL. The
Doctor Is spirited and correct, ana INC 1--WE; wsG
scene with Sammy Dyn.plc Is In its way e1qul-
site. Mr. Owen Fawcett, who plays tnis lat1es .aa
part, is the best OF the inalo characters IL .us

I'M and Mr. Chapmaa as 1horsby CYL, the
comnanion @ OF Sammy olympic, arc agreeable
and faithful to the idea Of the author;
The mounting Of the play is generally admira-
bic. every set being new and beautiful Some
minor dEfects may easily be suggested. 1t Is
scarcely appropriate, for instance, that tropl-
cal growth should be seen outside the old
Puritan home IN New England, at time, too,
when everybody complains Of the cold. Nor is
Il usual to have pendant chandelier in the
middle Of :: conservatory, and it Is usna!
to have in such places flowers and
plants. When several months have elapsed be-
tween two acts, We are surprised to see again
the same bouquet on the table that was lnere
before time hid flown 50 lightly over our heads;
and the fact that so many characters have worn
their dresses so long time without percept1blc
change is not in accordance with the experiences
Of real life, in which tailozs' bills and dress
makers bills abound
