This beautiful play was well rep resented last Friday night by MT. Edwin Stuart and his charming wife, assisted by some of our anna teur talent. The acting of Mir. Stu art was simply ercelIent. The anna teurs acquitted themselves well, even without allowing for the em- barassment which must arise from playing w'ith professionals. The fael oI Mr. McMuliin from an ele- vated position was well done. We especially liked Biddy when she thought she brought the right mes sage. She Miss Reppyl seemed as glad of her triumph as if the whole thing were real. The sweet fond character of mother was well played by Mrs. Rudolph. Not once did she seem conscious of the presence of the audience. We hardly know whether Miss Katie Johnson looked prettiest when she sang, when she followed her twink ling feet through the dance, or when she manifested sdcii material interest in the old piper's secret about masculine hearts. Lee Mont
 gomery's struggle to part the will ian and prisoner was as natural as life. We were pleased with the assumed indifference of the sentry, Tom Burns. IL was evident that Robt Moore would know how to enjoy being a rich lord, and it is to be hoped that Clem will never en- ioy a drink as he seemed to on the boards. The manner and facial eX- pression of Mir. Frank Rudolph as the baron ia trouble was really good. l.. P. Ross made a number one lover; while A. T. Ross played Thady Blake, or Bddy's sweet heart with perfection. Mrs Stu arts best acting was done when
 the treachery of the william was discovered. Her betrayal of a pure womal's scorn was warmly appreciated. The most affecting scene of all was the touching one in which the filing and singing was
 done. A good play like this, in
 which the bad passions are DOT. trayed in all their uglineSs, and the good ones in all their beauty is not only intellectual, but moral treat. Go then, and hear him and his beautiful wife, in their .eXt play, "Kathleen Mavoumeen" or St. Pat rick's eve, which will be announc- ed in due time. We must con- gratulate tue Amateurs on the success of their entertainment.
