18th says: Miss Jeffreys-Lewis' week

to the theatre goers. Her personatIon
of Stephanie De Mohrivart gave more
than glimpse to lovers Of dramatic
art what possibilities there are in
acting and how many who attempt
to reach them are COMPOUNDED in the
deed. 1t seems almost as IL our stage
standard has been placed so low by
the incompetents and amateurs thrust
on the public before their time. that
the brilliant acting of Miss Lew Is was
out Of place, for several, lulled by the
namby-pamby, sing-song style OF
actresses Of limited capacity, COM
planned that they were disturbed by
the lightning-like. vividness of Miss
Lewis method in portraying the ad-
ventures. Many candidates for the ia.
vor oftheMuse lay their offeringson her
altar, but they remain cold. unnoticed
and undisturbed. When the true artistic
comes, as in this case, with votive
gifts; they are touched aud illumined
by divine spark from the Muse her.
self. The attendance was still greater
toward the close Of the week than at
the commencement. The public were
awaking to the fact there was an
actress at the Baldwin when the cur
tain dropped and hid her from view.
