err" by Sheridan Knowles is well known
as of the first rank requiring the best of
talent for Interpretation. The language
generally 10 this play is perfectly beauti-
ful, and the situations such as afford the
utmost scope. 1t is one of those works
that we only want to see in the hands Of
evening. From the opening scene to the
close there was not the slightest wavering
of interest on the part of the audience. and
the acting Of John Mccullough was so
closely watched that no word of his escap-
ed the hearing. His reading is as near
faultless as it ia possible to have it, and
the power. force. expression and clearness
of enunciation invariably commands the
highest admiration.
To enumerate the points of interest.
would be to go over the whole play, suffice
il that no point was omitted or allowed to
fall into insignifcance. The support was
admirable in every particular. and John
Mccullough believes in having the best
available talent for every part, and knows
how to put the play on the stage, studying
alike beauty and genius.
The audience was select and most
enthusiastic, but the fact of the high
charges for admission was complained Of
by many and without doubt was the rea-
son why the house last night was not filed
from bottom to top. The people have
had taste of good performances at low
prices. and the general impression is that
the time has gone by when high prices
will be paid by the general public. and
it is the general public. exceptin excep-
tional cases. who support the drama.
