Miss Nellie Boyd and her dramatic COM |
pany had large audience last night. The
play was the melodrama Unknown"
1t has been played here by John A |
Stevens. its author, with a large company,
but not better played and in several |
respects not so we'll Miss Boyd is by far
d more competent actress than the lady of
the Stevens troupe, while Mr. Clarence Will |
kins is, by youth, delivery and bearing |
better adapted TO the leading male char
acter than was John A. Stevens. Miss
Boyd played with ease, gracefully, and |
with entire effect yeness The part does not !
develop her acknowledged powers by any
means, but she gives il for all it is worth. |
The play itself is full of action, stirring
episodes, and though in some
respects and not infrequently, ex-
travagant, has yet strong elements
general audiences. 1t appeals strongly to
the sympathies, and gives opportunity for
fine acting by Mr.. Clarence Wilkins He
is young, of fine presence a superb voice,
and reads feelingly. He made an excellent
impression last night, though evidently
nervous and embarrassed by reason
of the presence of intimate friends
and relatives in the dress cir
Gle. This will leave him tonight,
and give him opportunity to intensity the
more striking passages in which his are
the chief lines. He needs only earnestness
and loss of self to make mark of special
distinction as a "leading" man. George
t. Stevens was admirable as an old sailor
none better in that line have been seen
here. Frank Hatch was very good as a
social outcast, and James Mckee entirely
acceptable as an Irish servant Miss
George Hayne made good i'm
preston as a serving maid. Miss
Carol Grouse appeared in an I'M
important and brief part, and sang
contralto solo pleasantly. Miss Hayne and
Mr.. Mckee sang comic duos with excellent
effect. The support on the part of three
Others is not up to the requisite standard.
The scenery was especially striking, that of
New York harbor being notably so. The
applause was generous and the recalls fire.
