of the best rounded and most enjoya.
BILE Shakespearian representations ever

beautiful in form and face, with a
voice of marvellous sweetness, n coun-
tenance mobile enough for panto-
mime, graceful and queenly in every
movement and gesture and a dramatic
face aud appreciation rarely surpassed

many leading actresses. But refusing
10 subordinate dramatic excellence to
mere mOney-making, she calls 10 her
aid the very best of support. Ii was
not until the second act that Rhea
caught her audience-the entry Of the
heroine ia the first scene being an
error permissible only t. great drs-
matist.. la the third-the garden
scene, by her superb silent portrayal
of the workings Of love she won com.
pletely, and made the house her
slaves. Mr.. William Harris as "BeDe.
dict" was Benedict in everything.
His splerdid reading of the lines, free
from rantingor affectation, brought out
every shade of meaning. In face,
form, voice aud action, Mr.. Harris
has ~adjunct- seldom found united in

comedy scenes in II manner with
which their great painter could have

that Rhea had gained u large place in
their regard.

Friday al the Rink.

The stirring aud ever popular melo-
drama, The World" was given last
night, with Mr.. ]. z. Little in the
chief role, for the first time this sea-
o 10 Baltimore. The first produc-
ton last night was a highly successful
one and got a very enthusiastic recep-
ton from the audience. which was a
large one end intensely interested in
the play. Mr.. Little was supported
10y II strong company selected by him
self, aud the dramatic situations Of the
piece were presented with great
power, and ELECTED enthusiastic ap-
plause from the spectators. The seem
cry formed q very important feature
OF the production. The RAFT scene, The
sinking ship, the wharf scene and
others were presented in n realistic
and startling manner, which called
forth the wsrmest appreciation OF the
audience. The play is a strong attrac-
ton and will probably have II very
successful weeks run.-Bsltimore

Forgiven.

On Wednesday evening next Clay
Green's new play will be presented by
the Grismer-D Davies troupe to a Miles
City audience. The story is not Gu
tirely a new one, but that need not be
a h%indrance to Its success. When
they are well handled no one tires Of
those husbands ond wives who are
separated by mistakes, missunder-
standings, or even by crimes, If they
only love each other fervently and
come together after many years In a
way that satisfies the universal love OF
the dramatic and romantic. In this
case the husband takes the lions
share Of the interest with him and in
that particular the play Ia a star play.
But gentle Annie Dennison fills the
mind OF the auditor throughout the
four acts, for when "Iacku is no,
talking to her he Is talking Of her,
and therefore these two-husband and
wife-in happiness, In estrangement,
ana 10 final reconciliation, surround.l
though they are by a group Of esrnes,
and humorous people, have the fret
pince in the hearts and memories OF
the audience while the play Is In pro-
gress, and long after the inal curtain
comes down.
