1.-The Bankers Daughter" will be given
at the Grand Opc!a-llouse ly the Union
Square company for another week. 1t has
been successful during its representation:
here this SEASON in drawing larger audiences
than have been present at any other house.
Since Wednesday night every seat has been
sold for each performance, aud on tWoniS'lfs
Of the week the word at the door WAS STAND
Ing room only" This is somewhat remark
able, considering the gloomy occurrences aud
the alt-peTyading sorrow Of tile week. The
management have done well i'll continuing
: the Dlay for another series III eight perforlll-
ances, as they might also have p:otitably pro-
longed the run Of Mother anu Son.
'':The Bankers Daughter" has never had
better representation. taken OH the whole,
than it is receiving today. The mounting of
the play is admirable. the different scenic
effects we'll managed. AMI such little defects
as arise from the fact that the scenery was
made for much smaller stage are 50 clev-
erly yeiled that they would not be noticed by
the audience And the east is stronger as Il
whole than when the play was last given
here We have better Dc Curojttc and a
better Phlpps, Mr. T'lornc gives Il manly,
effective Interpretation Of the character Of

Harrison makes the most Of the part uf
AIRS. Hro'c,t, and ii il one for which she is
admirably alaptcd. Mr., dc Delleyille is
winning his way to popular favor
with UNUSUAL rapidity. Ills ptrsonation Of
the impetuous, hot=blooded Frencil,lal1, Dc
Carojac, is marked by all the niceties Of
shading Of which a careful actor alone is
capable Conscientious il, his work, scrtipi-
1ousll attentive to the details OF Ills pzft aud
thoroughly gentleman oil the stage, he is
the best Cnrnjnc, us well rs one Of the best
actors. OIL the boards today. Mr.. De Belle
sil|e was for soitie time All officer in the
French army, and is al expert swords1nan,
which fact gives additional interest to the
duel scene in the fourth act
Miss Eleanor Carey is the Lillian of the
PLAY. We we're in error i'll stating that this
was her first appearance in Chicago. She
appeared here at Hoolcy:s Theatre last
daughter ofan English naval officer, and her
first American, appearance was ut B;lldwin's
Theatre, SRn Francisco, in ls1c III Miss
Gwiit-" This is, however, her first engage
ulcAt will. the Lnion Square company. lIer
representation Of the leading character in
The Banker's Daushtcr'' is not altogether
satisfactory. Miss Carey is Il conscientious,
hartt-working actress, but she is not a grcut
actress, much less All artist. An artist |
creates. not merely stimulates. And the
actors art demands the highest range Of
accomplishments, Voice, fcatur.s. actio,,
1nnst all be able 10 bear the most rigid |
scrutiny. Above all, there must be thor
ough and absolute sinking OF individuality. |
It is the character personated, and not the |
one personating it. whom we wish to |
have constantly present before us. EuSkii1
SAYS: 1.-The power, whether of painter
or poet, to describe rightly what he |
calls ali ideal thing depends upon its
being TO him not all ideal but Il qftfl
thing" And this is even truer of the actor
Than OF the painter or poet The actors aim
Is to deceive. and to do it we'll re1uircs
study and talent Talma, tie great French |
actor, said that it took him forty years to
learn 70 be energetic without making a
noise In Miss Carey's case she lacks the
which enchains the attention of
The spectator, and Makes him see only the
created character and not the creator. Miss
carey is thoroughly refined anl ladylike;
her appearance is decidedly prcpossessinc;
all the mechanical requirements of her part |
are fnldlled to nicely; ler Interpretation |
IS pleasing, and at times all that could be
iesl1ed. But it is not so at those times when
most is required Of her. Her attitudes arc
90 often awkward: her positions and move
