E,NKER's DAUGHTER.-A large audience
wa present at the Theatre last night, and
Is il seldom so perfect success has TO he
recorded. The acting throughout was
good and fully appreciated. The drama is
one which cycites the sympathies OF the
audiencein the highest degree, but ii badly
played II is nothing. II was not so last
might. Every point was touched with ar
tistic skill. The costumes were all good
some OF them more than go0d-rcaIly
beautiful. The Bankers Daughter is
q society play, and requires ladies and gen
tiemen to play IL. II should be done natIl-
rally and quietly, and so it is done by the
COMPANY now playing il here. When the
s1I1ain was called up again 10 the end OF
'hc third act an excel cnt point was made
by Mrs. Walcot and Mr.. Dickson intro
ducing q comic element into a scene almost
painful IT, Its pathos, thereby rendering the
whole az once more realistic and more
touching. II might be suggested that
Dir. Dickson a. " Brown the Retired
Millionaire" would be better ii moi
so rery old. His makeup Is eX-
cellent aud acting good, but rather toe
much OF the conventional old man. Age
does not squeak always il mum
bleS. The duel scene is terrible in it, per-
fcc,lv quiet trutbfulnCss. Mr.. Writings
rendition Of the fifth act was almost if not
quite perfection. II can be said of Mis-
Florence White that she supported the role
Of Lillian" rs II she had been Lillian
her-elf-nothing strained or stagey-no
arasping after eilects-iust doing the
work a. the author intended, and
doing IL well. Dr. Watson was 4
rifle std unnecessarily SO; the Count
vigorous aud vcnomOus, rs he should be.
Phipps was capital, and brought do the
house with his notebook and accurate
timetable. Little Georgia filled her T6'e
well. Take IL all in all, ii is an excellent
drama acted remarkably well.
Tonight ana tomorrow night it will be
repeated,
