excellent delineations Of New England life,
ana at the same time having plot that
holds the interest of the audience all the way

Grand Opera House-The beautiful and
talented actress Miss Fanny Davenport ap-
peared again in her remarkable impersona-
ton OF Fanny Ten Eyck, in Daly's society
play Of Divorce" The play itself needs
no discussion at this time, for it has been
here many times and duly commented

seen at her best in divorce" as we prefer
her in the roles of the legitimAte-to which
she 50 justly beongs-both from her gifted
itance, as all admit her father, the
late E. L. Davenport was one of
the greatest legitimate actors of the age.
However, in the play of divorce" !"
her beauty, enhanced by an excellent
wardrobe is displayed to fine advantage.
The naturalness with which she invests the
part gives it an increased charm. In the
pathetic passages she is masterlv, and
where strong acting is required she is not
found wanting, never Overstepling the
bounds which divides the natural from

cast Edwin Price as ALFRED Adriance'
displayed fine acting. Harry Hawk was as
accomplished as ever in the omedy part OF
'Templeton Jtt." and Mr.. E. Coll er made
an excellent "Burritt." Miss Ada Monk
was never seen to better advantage than as
"Mrs. Ten Evck." Miss Emma Pierce was
not so happy as she suould be as the
vivaciOus Lou. Ten E ck." A little
more dash and little less gusll
might improve her impersonation. A
word here might also be of service to the
lady. We have noticed her in three parts
Celia" Mary Standish.' and Lou. Ten
Eyck," always the blonde of the period.
A change now and then TO brunette
might vary the monotony Of the scene
and the occasion. This evening
Miss Davenp rt will appear as
Lady Teazle," in Brinsley Sheridan great
comedy of "The Sch"ol for Scandal" in
which she has achieved such marked sue
cess in New York and throughput this
