 At Carlls Opera House last evening Miss Mary Anderson, supported by MT. J. B. Studley and MT. R. l.. Downing and 8 fair supporting company, presented Sheridan Knowles play entitled '"The Hunchback i" The play is we'll known to New Haven the ater-goers. It is in many respects one of the
  not calculated to be very popular There are strong places in it and many opportuni- ties for over-acting, which were not taken advantage of last evening The whole effect of the play is, however, somber and depress ing. Miss Anderson appeared even more charming than ever last evening, and sus- tained her role with more evenness than she did whea she last appeared in the character in New Haven. There is now more finish and yet not less passion in her acting In the first scenes she was the light hearted country lass, free, careless and natural. When the critical scenes in the last two acts were reached she threw the whole force of her magnificent voice into her lines, only once or twice allowing 1t to be too forcible. But Miss Anderson is becoming better, more conscientious artist every year and her pop ularity does not wane, as the immense house which greeted her last evening attests The part of stMaster Walter, the.Hunchback' was ably sustained by MT. StudIey. Possessing @ remarkably fine voice and good presence he displayed a just appreciation of the part and was especially good in the last act. Mir. Downing was very acceptable as sfSir Thomas Clifford" Miss Adelaide Ford and Mr. Charles Hawthorne got through their scene In the last act very cTeditably.
