Her Atenement.

The military drama. "Her Atonement
which was given at Harper's theatre last
evening" was witnessed by fair sized
audience. which was we'll pleased with
the play itself, but were dissatisfied with
some of the actors. The plot, runs some
thing as follows: A libertine visits a
country village, and gains the love of a
village beauty, daughter of lawyer. He
betrays her, and then leaves her and goes
TO New York, where he makes an engage
ment with a young lady of good family,
and then breaks it insultingIy two days
before he is about to leave for Europe.
He has French servant, who sees him
receive by express. a package Of money
before he leaves. That evening the
mother visits the libertine, to beg of him
not to allow her son to make trouble
should he come to demand satisfaction.
The son comes and they have hard words
and part. The village beauty also finds
her betrayer the same evening, and he re-
fuses to support their child aud thrusts
her from the door. When alone he hears
a noise and going to the door, is
shot. The shooting is mystery
The Frenchman is tried but proves an
alibi, but is sent up for three years for
stealing the money from his master The
betrayed girl is discharged, and the broth>
er who threatened to kill the libertiue,
goes to the war and stays three years
when he comes back he is arrested and
tried for the murder The circumstantial
evidence is strong enough to convict him,
and during the trial the betrayed country
belle makes the startling announcement
that she killed the man. She is arrested
and confesses all, and taking poison, ends
her life, which is Her Atonement.
There are parts where strong dramatic
acting can be put in to advantage. Miss
Louise Moildener, as the unfortunate vii
lage girl, was good, but Mrs. A. Clark, as
Mrs. Morton, mother of the young man
tried for the murder, was too cold and
carries her part poorly. The Frenchman
did very WELL as did Frederick Sackett, as
Charles Leroy, the libertlne. Col Swift,
father of the village girl, as acted by
Frank Tannehill, was very well done, but
might have been better. The New York
policeman and the newsboy created plenty
of merriment and the jury made decided
hit, 1t only needed few gray hairs and
bald heads to make model jury worthy
of Rock Island county.
