METROPOLITAN THEATRE. KATHERINE
Rogers and the picked company support
ing her have reason to take pride in tht
welcome accorded last evening by a large anC
critical audience, one OF especial brilliaRcy
and intelligence. The play was the sensa
tional domestic and familiar drama Mis-:
| Mutton 1t is the simple judgment, which
! truth brings to the record, that there has not
/ Tor years been given here a dramatic enter
| tainment OF more even excellence In ali les
| parts. Miss Rogers appeared here seven
years ago and was great fayorlte. She
came back to the field Of old triumphs last
| night and proved greater one. In method
she has improved, and in her artistic has greatly
advanced The picture she held up for the
audience last evening was not only beautiful,
but it was massive in its symmetry,
and was remarkable for the denotements of
artistic conception which were manifest in
the entire presentation. 1t was the work of
an artist. She identified herself completely
with the sorroWful part she assumed, and
tempered her production by that nice mod
Grafton which stopped short of the extrava-
e I
there must be over color in . picture, it is
best laid on when adroitiy concealed by the
effect produced. If there was any Of the
uareal in the performance, it was that I'M
perceived over-eolor necessary to success, and
which Is compelled from the fact that the
dramatic action Of extended periods and the
long growth Of feelings and events that cul-
inmate in a tragic ending, are per force com
pressed into brief space on the stage. Miss
Rogers was complimented by that
silent aIsplauss manifested by tie "a
most painful hush which grow out
of wrap5 attention and makes the specta
tor forgetful of ali else but the scene before
him. COMMUNICATION of the profound st
character also was given by the tears
OF many of the auditors which the artist
drew despite resisting wills. She was twice
called before the curtain. In Miss Young,
Mr. Bradley and Mr.. Jennings she had ad-
mirable support. Dir. Grismar and Miss
Andrews weis the foils to her part, and in
their leading roles they acquitted themselves
with entire satisfaction. Misses Sawyer and
Barry, who were the children Of the play,
were notably excellent. AS a whole, il was
a thoroughly satisfactory and enjoyable per.
Torrance and an exhibition of dramatic art
of a high order, with faults too insignificant
to be noticed in the presence OF such uniform
excellence To night the sensational drama
Daniel Rochat," concerning which much
promise is made.
GOSPEL MEETINGS. - The Presbyterian
Church was closely filed at Mrs. Stebbins
meeting for women yesterday afternoon.
She gave a Bible reading upon the duty of
parents to teach and bring up their children
that they will grow to manhood and womaE-
hood in the love and fear of God. This is to
be done by beginning with them early in
teaching the words and truth of the Bible Early
teaching and fruits of example are indellible.
Parents are responsible for the result of their
teaching or influence and should make their
strongest and best efforts felt in the right d.
rection, by constantly holding up Gods word
and It's requirements The meeting was very
interesting throughout, her passages from
Scripture being Illustrated by pointed Incl
dents. Mrs. Stebbins is possessed Of the
strong and quiet influences of effective ex-
hortation, making her Bible readings good
evaneelistic work. Another meeting viii be

cediag. Rev. MIR. Rice preached the sermon,
upon the words Behold | stand at the door
and knock, and following the thought that
tue Savior IS standing at the door of the SID
ner's heart and knocking; if not accepted
