piece OF acting that did credit even to an
actor of his excellent reputation. All the
other members OF the troupe were equally
hne. The beauty of the performance was
attributable, in fact, not to the work of any
one, but t. the evenness and perfection OF
It as whole. Every evening and matinees

KATE CLAYTON Ar THE GRAND.
Last night fine Monday night house
welcomed Kate Claxton and her excellent
company. The play was "A Double Mar.
riage," an emotional drama that was en-
tirely new here, but which proved to be a
play of much interest, with many strong
points nice sentimental passages, and full
of opportunities for the school of emotion
al acting in which Miss Claxton ranks so
high. The part Of Josephine" was PLAYED
by the star with excellent effect while Mr.
Stevenson and Mr.. White, both fine actors,
took the parts of the two husbands. Peo.
pie who have known Miss Claxton only
as the blind girl should not fail TO see her
IN this character, as it shows an entirely
new phase OF her ability as an actress. Miss
Cone As Rose" the sister, has good part.
which she plays nicely. The play is in five
acts and the interest which commences
with the rise of the curtain is nicely car
ried through 10 the end. "A Double Mar
mage" will be presented tonight, at
the "wednesday matinee and tomorrow
night, when It will give way to "The Two
Orphans" with Miss Claxt0n in her great
