InEA IL "ARcADIA" AT THE GRAND.

RHEA II ARCADIA" AT THE GRAND.
Last night, at the Grand Opera HOUSE, q
lsrge and fashionable audience crested the
distinguished French actress, Mile. Rhea, in
Arcadia" her new com~edy-drsma by Victo-
rien Ssrdou, taken from a Dangerous Came"
This is the interesting story: Henri" hay
ing called on Helene with honorable in
tentions. although at an unseemly hour, he
finds himself by unexpected complications
in the apartment OF the Baroness. In order
10 shield her and conceal the motive of his
presence, ne snatches come diamond orna-
ments from her and allows himself to be
captured as a thief. The Baron. who
is known to be q man of
deadly aim and will, contrives, by
q series of s~klllfully arranged questions, to
show that tn eft vas not the object, and be.
comes convinced of the guilty completely of
h vile. The scene in which thisi is worked
up is an admirable illustration of French in
gtDuity in play making, the conflicting emo
tons and purposes of father. husband and
wife being introduced with fine effect. The
Whole is happily cleared NJ, however, by
helene" who is the good angel OF the scene.
She inIocently avoWs that the visits of Henri
were TO Der and not to the Baroness. and the
key by which be gained access TO the park
Eas given by her. The inevitable French
fabric OF apparent or real intrigues between
a wife and on iTTepressible young lover are
to be found in the play, not without sugges-
ton that matter more Objectionable had
been Ietrenched in the trsnslating. Bat
II also has the consumma,e French
ingenuity of plot and incident. the
l~ivelines3 OF dialogue and aptly interviewer
scenes. Mile. Rhea appeared 10 good advan.
tsee as The %sprightly. vivacious and winning
'Belene.' The naivette and charm of per-
sora al bearing, voice and facial expression
won the ready and sympathetic favor of the
audience and sustained a role which in less
attractive hands would lapse into secondary
interest. in the closing act in which, on
returning fresh from the ball flushed with
her tIi0mpbs, she innocently avcws that
"HenTi" Is her afianced, and tells with all
the artlessness Of q child the story OF their
mutual love and their plans for the future,
her peculiar graces are seen ct their best ad-
vantages. Rhea has man'festly gained in
the accomplishments OF expression, and the
mellow and finely modulated tones. The
cast was a strong ore and made a splendid
support. Camille" will be given at the
matinee this sftern Don, and The American
Countess tonight.
CINDERELLA" AT EsGLIsH's.
