As presented by the Barrett company, this
play was in every way satisfactory and de-
hghtful The intellectual character OF AL
fred Evelyn" Is one peculiarly adapted to the
talents of Mr.. Barrett, and il Is seldom that
one sees so artistic copy Of natures gentle
| man as he has made. The trsg.di is
master OF his art; the strings OF passion are
10 him as tale that is told. for he knows
their infirite variety. Psginini playing a
welrdly touching air upon the single
string OF his violin, and Li-zt
execu'Ing the base and treble of a 9duotte
with one hand, are not moreiwonderful than
the actor who.e art Is completeness, whose
voice must be obedient to the thousand be-
hests of passion. The stalwart grace of
Mccullough pales before the intellectual
emineuce of Barrett. The latter as eve
lyn," besides infusing the consciousness OF
mental superiority into the part, rises to the
dignity of psthos and instead of rant We
find suppression. All batfied passion is more
terrible than that which vents itself. And
so Mr.. Barrett does not DER step the bounds
OF natural probability, and gives US a
scholarly, sharply drawn character. The
"Sir Frederic Biount" of Louis James
was good bit of comedy acting.
The "Graves" of Charles Plunkett was
hilariously funny. He gave evidence Of
fine comic talent. Miss Marie Wainwright
was an admirable "Clsra Dou Lass" This
lady stands almost alone in The portrayal of
a certain line Of character. The APPEAL
recalls no actress on the stage who SO fit
tiDgly acts the tue woman-the woman of
mans home, with all her modesty, her in
teiligence, her gentlepess and her pride.
Every roIe which Miss Wainwright assumes
she beauties with tender, maideuly grace.
In her delicate conception of led Die char
acter she has no equal on the American
stage. Mrs. Z. A. Eberle and Miss Addie
Plunkett deserve favorable mention. The
following was the cast OF the second part OF
the bill, Dorid Garriek:
David Lawrence Barrett
Mr.. Simon Ingot....... B G. Rogers
Squir- Chivy -. -. Chas Plunsett

Miss Araminta Brown... Mis- Adobe Plunkett |
lhls Is one OF the brightest oil Robertson's |
comedies, and again in il Mr. Barrett gave |
proof of the equilibrium OF his talents, and |
proved himself as genuine a comedian as he |
is tragedian. His stimulation of drunken |
ness was never marked by coarseness, despite |
the license Of his action and his words. 1t is
the very refinement of intoxication and lacks
those elements that disgust even an audience.
Mr.. Barrett's "Garrick" is a GEM Mr. |
Rogers was dear delicious old "Simon
md Las IA NH fl,aI
sweetest Ada Ingot" Imaginable. Mr..
Plunkett was very clever and funny as
Squire Chivy," and the remainder of the
company was good without an exception.
