CLUYIE OPERA HOUSE. Led Astrav"
was much better played last night. The
whole company warmed to its work. Miss
Boyle's Armande was more rounded and
complete PRESERVATION more intense in
action and deeper in feeling Mr.. Mont |
serrat intensified the emotional passages,
toning down the volume of utterance,
while augmenting its force. Mr.. Vinton
modified his makeup, divesting it of the
rakish appearance that characterized it on
the first night. Mr. Summers was more at
ease also, and broadened the humor of the
part of Hector. Miss Francis partook of
the improved feeling and read her lines
y, 10,
ease that is very creditable Miss Marshall !
and Mrs Francis as the rival dowagers gave
fair support, the former having broader ex-
perlence, being the more natural and easy.
There were sincere calls before the curtain /
at the close of each of three acts and the |
compliment included Miss Boyle, Messrs.
Summers, MontSerrat and Vinton. The |
play, which drew good house, with many
ladies in the upper circle-an excellent |
point of view, and superior for good |
acoustic properties-will be repeated to-
night Frank Lambert has been appointed |
by the management Treasurer of the thea
ter.
ALL THE Wills THROWN OUT-The Pat |
rick Sullivan contested will case was given |
to the jury about S o'clock last evening. |
and that body, after being out about three |
quarters of an hour, or long enough to bal |
lot and write up their findings on all the |
special issues, returned into Court and re- |
ported, in effect, that they found against |
the competency of the testator when he |
made each and all of the wills-found that |
he had not sufficient mental capacity to |
make them. None of the wills having |
been established, the estate is left to be adj |
ministered upon in favor of the heirs at |
law-the widow and the son of the de- |
ceased. 1t appears, however, that Mrs. |
McNamee, who was named as executrix in |
the wills, and in the last will was given |
pretty good share of the property, had pur-
chased from the heirs their entire interest |
before the case was decided, paying Mrs |
Sullivan $4,000 and James Sullivan 81 500 |
In the last will, especially, they had been |
almost ignored. Mrs McNamee, by the |
purchase, gains the $4,000 bequeathed by |
the deceased to Archbishop Alemany.
