 This famous actress, who has been selected by the great dramatic committee to play the leading role in the festival at Cincinnati, will appear at CarlPs Opera House Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, May Sth and 9th, in Adrienpe Lecouvreur on Tuesday and in '"Ths Adventures" on Wednesday. The following is from the Ohio State Journal: "MIle Rhea scored brilliant and heartily recog- nized success by her rendition of Adrienne Lecouvreur at the Grand Opera House last evening and fully sustained the reputation that has chased her with Modjeska Janau- schek and Bernhardt. The play is one that calls for fneness and apower of action that lie in few actresses, and Mile. Rhes, it may be safely said, surpassed the highest expectations of her audience, and won for her the oft repeated plaudits of one of the most enthusiastically appreciative as semblies that has gathered in Columbus in a long period. At the endings of the third and fourth and fifth acts she was each time re. called twice, and when the curtain fell at the close of the play she was again brought out. She has the winning, natural, demon strative grace that is born in a ded 8 voice of wonderfully pathetic power and of great dramatic strength In the passages where Adrienne deies the Prin- cess De Bouillon, where she appeals to the spirit of Corneille for inspiration, and where she recites the lines from ''Phedra,' the eff fects were simply thrilling, and at the close of the last act when her mind is wandering, there was pathos of expression and voice that held her hearers spell-bound. The sup port was excellent.
 THE SLAVE OF GUILT.
 An intelligently discriminative audience, including some of our prominent citizens witnessed at Carll's Opera House last even ing the production of the new drama ''The Slave of Guilt" The play is undoubtedly one of strength, almost tragic indeed in the intensity of some of it's situations, of deep in terest throughout, and, when subjected to some excision of superduous dialogue in the first act and through Administration with it by the company, made to play some what more closely and with greater rapidity, will win much favor. All it's roles demand impersonation by people of dramatic ability and perhaps a nervous consciousness of this fact may have led to 8 slight tendency to over acting in some of the situations last night. This however, is but Q minor and merely temporary defect which will be promptly remedied. Mir. Frank Mordaunt's role of Greville Volney is the great acting part of the piece and was admirably sustained by him. In the portrayal of the cynicism and vicious life of the character in the first and part of the second acts, and in his de- monstration of awakened feeling. mental agony and repentance in the remainder of the piece, with the redeeming trait of paternal love throughout, he distin- guished himself by the force and naturalness ot his acting Mir. Frank Evans role of the "Hon. Henry Wilbur" in it's earnestness of honestlmanhood and depth of emotion was "Greville Volney'' and was played by him with noble simplicity, tenderness and strength that divided the honors of the even ing with Mir. Mordaunt. The leadine female role, that of 'tMrs. Henry Wilbur, was very well sustained by Miss Margaret Lanier, not 7 under the disadvantage of serious in disposition. The part calls for the exercise of much nervous force and Miss Lanier, though disposed to oyer act, gave evidence of real merit. Miss Marion Rad ciiffe, an exceedingly charming ingenue looked and played every prettiIy the charac ter of 'sEthel, i" a tender hearted and confid- ing miss of sixteen, and as her lover Alfred, MT. W. M. Moriarty acquitted himself we'll l The play has real strength and merit, but needs to be relieved by the introduction of l the comedy element.
