PARK THEArRE-MARIoN DARCY IN ''THE L1v-
ING STATUE"

The Park Theatre opened itss doors last night for
the first time this season. and jammed by q
crowd that heard tho play of "The Living
Statue" and Miss Marion Darcy mako her
metropolitan debut therein. There some very
good points about tho ladys acting. a.
well In that of the company but the
play is q most Unsatisfactory effort in the
direction determined upon by the author.
The plot of the piece is. In brief. as follows:-
Count Paul. of Santa Rosa. young and rich, and who
sowod al his wild oats In single year. had before
tho opening of the play become enamored
of simple country girl whom he met In the
streets Of the great city. He approached her by
pretending to be Of her social level; he
and she loved each other. they intended to bc-
husband and wife. but the death of
the girl prevented. The hero abandoned the country
and buried himself in the wilds Of own beloved
land, when he heard of most remarkable double
the pet of tho ballet troupe of his native city opera
house. He hurried back to his native land, saw the
alleged doubh, offered her everything that money
could buy IT, during two hours Of The day. she would
occupy certain rooms, assume the namc of Julia
and wear certain druss which hc would specify.
This dress was of simple white muslin. with mere
bit or two of black 1t was duplicate OF
the favore garment of the loved and lost julia and
the rooms those in which that divinity lived.

tomb OF his frst and only love. scene. vio-
lent ON the part OF the lady. finally

stoidly spurned by tho hero. who remains true to
the sacred dust. The heroine returns to the ballet
is worshipped and fetcd. quarrels with a would-bo
lover, and is saved from insult only by the hero,
who gloomly appears ut just the right moment. A
harmless duel is fought between the two mon ut sun
rise the grave of the original Julia: to this
spot knowing what is to happen, the assumed Julia
dras herself. Two shots fired into the air; the
t,sc of the heroine who had been praying over the
sod the first Julia's grave Is commended, and she
drops into tho heros arms rs the curtain finally
falls.
Such travesty upon the healthful affections has
seldom been seen upon the stage, yet the actors
read their lines II all were IL should bo. Miss

with considerable force, and tho lady, while
