respect a success. 1t is seldom that a
play with such striking scenic effects Is
put in the hands of capable actors. Mr..

mirable impersonation, and he was sew
eral times enthusiastically applauded.
Miss Enda Courtney as 'Mathilda.' a
beautiful and graceful actress, was fire.
quently applauded in her strongest
scenes. The other ladies and gentlemen,
with but few exceptions, filled all the re-
