the way to her destination she was
obliged to travel over lonely roads in

her and to escape from them she fled
from the coach. A few days later
she was found wandering Oh the

mind completely dethroned. Forum

One Of the largest audiences of
the season assembled at the opera
house last night to witness the presen-
tatiOn of The Strangers of Paris"
The play is very strong one. aud
the cast was very good. The piece
is dramatization of a French novel
by BeloscO, and deals principally with
the criminal life of the French capt.

the triumph Of innocence and
punishment of guilt is worked
up to With force and fine effect.
The LEADING aracters, Jsgon, and
his daugeter, Mathilde, Blanchard
and his wife Sophie, were well sus-
tanned, and In them the interest Of the
play depended. Jagon, as personated
by Mr.. Frank y. Tannehill, could
not fail TO command the admiration
of tho who admire fine acting. Mr..
Tannehill has fine conception of the
smooth, accomplished assassin and
his voice and stage methods are all
that could be desired. Miss Edna
Courtney, as Mathilde, the strangers
daughter; played difficult part with
much power. In the fifth tableau.
when she discovered that her father
was a murderer, she executed u fine
piece of acting and deserved more
applause than her efforts elici ed.
Blanchard, the condemned convict,
and his wife Sophie, the hero and
heroine of the play, as persOnated by
Mr.. Finer Grandeur and Miss Eva
Mountford, were well received and
they deserve praise for their really

cast was up to the average of travel.
