Tre ETHE sU isnnr Presents Her New Elsy
10 - Lancaster Audience.


Mile Rhea made her second appearance
hei1ro lancaster public at Fulton opera
hOuse ou Saturday evening, large
aud eEoe being in attendance. The play
"GYgnue' is from tho pen Of Francois
Mons, aud has most Of the realistic features
OF the French dramatic school. The in
trigue, which is always largely relied upon
by French dramatists to quicken interest
in their productions panderng to the
morbidly sensational in human nature, is
here oonspicuously present. Almost with
the curtains rise pistol shot is heard
which kills guilty lover fleeing from the
rooms of tho Countess de GrdEye!teH
the victim of her husbands suspicion.
The otiense of harborinG the lover i'll the
house is charged to YooaRe, who bears it
to save her married sisters honor. On
this fact mainly hinges the sction of the
drama.
The play does not appear to be very
ceverly constructed. Il has some good
situations which, however, do not seem
natural Outgrowths Of ths plot. The
material of the play admits of strong
scenes, but its action does not lead up
properly to the perfect dramatic climax.
Then the hero is introduced ia unexpected
fashion in the latter hall of the play aud
just as the spectator Is settling down TO
the so 'ution of this character the curtain
falls for the last time. OSiug, therefore, to
tho limited possibilities OF the drama, Rhea
did not appear to her best advantage. Yet
here aud there bright CLEANS of her his.
trionio talent flashed upon the audience.
She seems lacking III the power that has
made JanaUsshsk famous, as well as the
exquisite tlaiSh that marks the work OF
MOdieska Nevertheless there is a strange
sweet charm about her slightest act on the
stage that mere than supplies for any
slight impeTloCSiOn in her iutt rpretatton.
THIS persOual qualify shines out in all her
work and is peThsps largely responsible
for tho favorable reception she
has been accorded in this country.
A truly great tragedieune takes hold OF
the auditors heartstrings at the start, re
tanning them to the close. Rhea seems to
lay hold OF them only at intervals, but her
touch is the extreme of soitness. Her
support was capable. Miss May Clark, as
OiymPs dc GTdageltsu, showing in par
ticular tue appreciation of her part.
Between the second and third acts, Prof.
Carl Thorbahn, the musical director of the
opera house, executed a very brilliant solo
on the clarioBet, which called forth from
the audience au enthusiastic encore. Under
the proCessor's able leadership, marked
improvement is noticed in the orchestral
music of the opera house.
