The appearance next week at Pixies of
the distinguished actress, Miss Ada Caven-
dish, in the new play "Lady Clancarty"
will doubtless bring out all classes of amuse-
ment-lovers The star is we'll known in
the amusement world. She plays this week
in Memphis, and the Appeal Of That CITY
says: "This play for romantic and stirring
incident, has no superior on the stage
Youth, beauty and love, adventure by
land and water, the excitement of the
camp and the court all have their share in |
four acts that heightened by the accessories
of the stage, brilliant costumes and strik-
ing effects, are worthy the clever dramatist |
who conceived them. But effective as
they are, they owe much to the artistic,
whose great abilities 1. are SO effect
lively grouped in portraying the character
of the heroine. In all the moods which |
are SO happily described by the poet, from
grave. to gay, from lively to severe she
gives us phases of a character that is the
perfect counterpart Of Tom Taylor'scon-
ception. She is a geDtlewoman, always re.
fined, sensitive, delicate, but strong in
those gifts of perfect womanbood that are
a shield and stay In misfortune and de.
tense against temptation. From the first
act, where eshe encounters the rude SNUG
gFers led by 'Cardeli,' to the final scene
with the king, she holds the stage only
once dividing the yhonors with Piercy as
Lord Clancarty.' Her encounter with him
m the Kings palace, where he tells her he
knows and is 8 friend of her husband, is a
revelation Of womanly wifeiy interest
struggling with present duty only sur
passed BY the touching and sometimes
Iosermastering play in the third act where,
restored to her husband. she learns that ii
is only to lose him again in perhaps few
short hours. Here she gives free rein TO
tie witchery Of her love, the strength Of
which, though born but few days, Is made
manifest in burst of intense feeling in the
impassioned appeal she makes to her
brother for his intercession with the King
in behalf of her husband, Few modern
plays afford a scene OF such varied power
or such scope for dramatic action and few
artistes-none now son thu American
boards-can accomplish the task it sets in
