The Opera House was crowded last
Saturday night to witness Bronson
Howard's new society drama, entitled
"Young Mrs. Winthrop" by the
Madison Square Company. The play
Is realistic story Of domestic life, and
shows how even the warmest affections
may be alienated by neglect of those
duties which each owe to themselves
and family. MIR. Winthrop, the young
business man, il 10 absorbed In
outside cares that his home becomes .
second consideration, and his wife feel.
ing the neglect, and fancying that he
no longer loves her, plunges into the
dissipations of fashionable life to ease
the pangs of her breaking heart.
The child, that has served AZ bond
to draw the parents together, is snatched
away by death, and the gulf between
them becomes wider, and they find
themselves drifting farther and farther
apart, until at last separation Is
agreed upon, that is only frustrated by
the skill of Lawyer Scott, an old friend
Of the family, who has known them
from childhood When he il called up
on to arrange the legal terms OF separa-
ton he pictures to them the hour Of their
marriage, and takes them back to
chilhood's days with such vividness
that both hearts are sensibly moved,
and caps 1t all by asking for instrue-
tons in dividing the property, how he
shall divide the lot in Greenwood, that
contains the remains of their beloved
child. The effect is reconciliation and
once more the two hearts that have
never ceased to love,are joined together
closer than ever. 1t is a beautiful and
touching story, and as presented by
the very excellent Madison Square
Company
