shows remarkable degree VI uId-
matte talent. Don Jose, the kings
prime minister, was cool, shrewd
and calculating fellow, and imperson-
ated by Mr.. c. A. Prouty, illustrated
the ''power behind the throne, true
to life. 1t required considerable
''acting" on the part Of MI. Z. ).
O'Connor to appear as the languid,
weak minded King of Spain. Mr..
Bottome and Miss Baker took the
parts of Marquis and Marchioness Gle
Rotondo quite creditably, and the
ambitions of the Marquis provoked
much mirth. Mrs. O'Connor in the
role of Mariana, the heroine OF the
play, sustained her part quite pleas
ingly and effectively. The military
bearing of Mr.. Kelsea filled him for
the part of the Captain of the Guard
most admirably. Perhaps the most
difficult part was that of Lazarlllo,
which was gracefully taken by Mrs.
| F. FL. Baker. The characters as
sumed by Messrs. Howard, belong,
! Chatfeld and Burbank were all eff
fectually impersonated, and each
member of the company exhibited
marked degree of dramatic talent for
the parts assigned them. The music
for the choruses, arranged by Mr.. B.
E. Shaw, was quite pleasing. The
orchestra consisting of Messrs. Il. j.
Wright, w. w. True, DR.. Fuller and
G.. D. Leonard, with piano accom-
paninent by Miss Parker, rendered
excellent selections. We must not
neglect to mention the elegant cos
tunes of the performers, which at
tracted much admiration. Should the
play be presented in any of the
neighboring towns, as it undoubtedly
will be, it could not fail of drawing
/
large audiences.
