is but arepetition Of what we see in every
dy life, and is free from much OF the ex-
tremes that detract from the force OF SIM
lilar pieces. The ladies are entitled to
! praise for the manner in which they sus-
tanned their roles: Mrs. Weber, in the
difficult role of Mrs. Ashton, acted with
great naturalness and care; Mrs. Hulburd
as Lilly and Mrs. " ilson as Patty, ren-
dered their parts in very acceptable man
ncr. Mr. Webber had, as Mark Ashton,
one of the most difficult characters an am
4 ateur can assume, but he acted well, indeed
far exceeded our expectations. The Other
male characters were well sustained
throughout. G.. H. Munro, Was natural as
the scheming william Caleb Hanson; Chas
Rhone, as Harry, made a good impression
his part was well acted and spoken in |
very clear tone; Geo. Whitley is good i.
any place you put him, and Dick Bustl
was rendered in his usual easy and happ.
style; r. Brown had very difficult par
as the suffering Tom. Chubbs, but he wa
fully equal to it and could not have beel
more natural if he had been born SO.
