AM UsEMENT
The National,

IL was fearful night to essay the prescnta-
ton ofa new play TO a Washington audience, and
the wonder was that bakers dozen should have
the boldness 10 brave the storm and venture out.
We were surprised to find 20 many at the theatre.
The play Of Lady Jane Grey" Is very grand,
heavy. Mt. onnan should know by this time that
tentedly for three and half hours with.
many more a. you please. Thisnust have been the
case with our English forefGthers, for Shakespeare
never forgot e incise . character or two IN his
and added zcs to their effect The play sentircy too
long. II Is all very well to have Il In Ave acts as
protest against so much dialogue. Strike out the
superauous talk. The situations and the effects

are well placed, excellent and original.

American stage The dresses and Jewels are
genuine. This, of course, does not make an ac

You have talent, and take the success Of Miss
Stamwitz as an example
James Snyder, McManus aud, in fact, all the
rest of the cast were lacking In their cues and for

and the National should be crowded to see and
hear the wonderful and enchanting Won stam-
