a Splendid Play ut EOrC's-"SnOH Flower
Mt the NafiOnaI-COmique.
A good-sized audience was in attendance at
Fords Opera House last night to witness the first
presentation in this city of the romantic drama
adapted by Mr. George Hoey, entitled "A Child OF
the State" The play is founded upon an old law
in Holland that orphans became the children of
thE State, and must therefore be protected.
Count Maurice de Ldurcy (Mr. James III. Hardiel,
ignorant of this law, arrives i'll Hague accompanied
by his friend Gr0s-Rens Mr.. George Hoey), and at
once commences desperate Irritation with Ger
trdnde Miss Ellen Cummins), who is one of these
children of the State, and who draws him on until
he is completely entangled, although he is be-
trothed to Marie Miss Eva Baker,.
When GeTtrGnde discovers this she cOnceiVes
violent hatred to Marie, and as the formal be-
trothal Is taking place she rShes in and forbd5 it,
claiming that Maurice shall marry her according
to law. Her cause is espoused by WdldbeF1, who
is magistrate, and who hopes by this to pave the
way to Hdries affections for his nephew Christian
and Marie begs her lover to marry the orphan and
SO save his life He refuses and is only saved from
death by GTOS-Rene, who comes into the possession
OF q secret which proved that GeTfTdRfe was the
daughter of Louise, the wife of the chief magiS-
trate who claims her to save his wife's honor and
Maurice finally weds Marie.
As will be seen, the plot offers some strong Incl
dents, and they are taken full advantage Of The
situations are well worked up aud are intensely
dramatic, and the action never fails of interest
Mr. James Hardie and SIR. George HOey of the gen.
tlemen, and Misses Ellen Cummins, Minnie Monk
and Eva Baker. of the ladies, deserve the waTnest
praise for their conscientious and correct acting
good one, and that the whole performance was
one of exceptional excellence. The play is well
placed upon the stage, and is one which will be-
come very popular.

deeply sympathize with her and her husband, Mr..
Stevenson i'll the loss of their little child beaut
full boy only seventeen months old, who died in
Albany on Sunday. OF course under the circum-
stances neither of the principals could appear at

disappointed many who had anticipated seeing
Miss Claxton in the character of PuTrrette.
The Snow Flower was produced, however,
Miss Florence White assuming Miss ClaXtOn's role,
and Mr. Outran that usually taken by Mr.. Steven
