THE "LADY OF LYONS" AT THE FIFTH AVENUE
THEATRE.
There Is so much diversity OF opinion In respect to
the Claude Menotte OF Mr. Charles Coghlan that the
interest In his personat,on doubt helped largely TO
crowd the Fifth Avenue Theatre last night. We

ndvanced-that his Claude intellectual,
very different The impossible hero 10 which tho
public accustomed by tho traditions OF tho stage.
But in making Claude moro natural. Mr.. Coghlan
makes him more Inconsistent, and much OF hts acting
merely brings into a strong light the tmpcrfccton OF
the character itself In soms of the passages Mr..
Coghan too violent, and his transitions were
often TOO abrupt This mostly apparent

many different versions Of the original DRAMA "East

concerned. Tho role Of the heroine assumed in
this case by Miss Kate Meek, who rendered It
with Intelligence, grace and frequently with much

BROOKLYN PARK THEATRE-RosE EYTINGE.
The of Rosc Eytingc and her appearance at
tho new Park Theatre. Brooklyn, last evening wore
sufficient to draw quito respectable house, notwh.
for not few scckcrs-and that the weather
had assumed Its most forbiddng aspect Tho play in
which Miss Eytingc appeared "Mlss Mutton" ono
adaptation OF which has already been described in
these columns. The version presented IN Brooklyn
last night differs somewhat from Messrs. Shook
Pnmer's adaptation. The difference, however,
Is rather In form than substance. II Is tho
same story Miss Eytinge's play being somewhat
sombrc by OF the absence OF certain comic ele-
ments introduced into tho Union Square adaptation In
consequence OF this difference there also fewer
characters, and Miss Mutton, with her grief and hor
forbcarance her advcrsftics her alternate forttude
ana desperation IL more continuously before the foot
lights. When an actress OF Miss Eytngc's talents
the part this fact should scarcely be
q detrimcnt, save that some alienation with tho
humorous would possibly hcighten the effect OF tho
more powerful scenes. The play, as Is already well
known, strongly resembles EAST Lynne" and Miss
Eynges presentation Of the title role " effective
piece OF acting. Miss Clara Morris portrayed tho
same character in this city, and the parison nat.
urally suggesting itself TO one who both was that
Miss Eytingo's representation had possibly shade
