across the Sea-" new melodrama by
Henry Petit, was last Saturday produced
at the Princess, under the management of
w. w. Kelly. The principal feature OF
the performance was the acting OF Mac
kenzie, who portrayed the part OF an
American. His performance differs from
that of other English actors who play
American parts, inasmuch as he succeeded
in looking and talking and doing as an ex-
aggerated specimen OF the dwellers in the
windy city by the big lake.

That she was exceedingly pretty IN this
attire may BIO easily imagined. And how
perfectly captivating she was in the dance!
poem might be written on the love-lit
eyes and fairy grace OF this, our Perdita.
The statue OF Hermione was, OF course,
lovely, but to those who had seen Mary
Anderson as Galatea this was no novelty.
In the two years that have elapsed since
this popular actress appeared here last
she has gained incredibly, and besides ad-
ding TO her good points she has freed her
self from all awkwardness OF pose or ges-
turc, and many minor crudities which
characterized her acting several years ago.
Her voice is as rich and pure as ever, only
q tone OF deep sympathy is finding its way
there, and will widen sensibly the
range Of expression. The support
ing cast was mildly fair, but the
settings and accessories were on a
scale OF excellence rarely given. The
management Of the stage mob and the in-
PRODUCTION OF the accompanying music at
different periods of the play were
specially commendable AS before stated,
a most notable audience witnessed the
play. In one OF the lower proscenium
boxes sat Coquelin (who came over from
Philadelphia), John Gilbert, Biorksten,
the young Swedish tenor, and Mrs. Abbey.
Apropos, il is said Biorksen is very
near relative to the present King OF
Sweden. In an upper box with the
Anderson family / noticed James Richard
son, Of New Orleans, who, by the way, is
getting awfully stout. DR.. Griffin, the
step-fatherof the actress circulated about
as usual, and smiled gleeiully at the hand
some prospects for the season.
At the Lyceum Theater, "Sweet Laven-
DER" new play by Pinero, was pre-
sented. IL had very long run in Lon
don this year, but judging from the ma
teral employed IL will not duplicate its
success on this side OF the water. Every
advantage that can be afforded by that ex-
celent house, the Lyceum, has been
given the play and yet with charm
ing ensemble and perfect staging ! fear
the play has not the requisite
lasting quality. The individual work Of
this company is on the very highest plane,
and surely everything possible Is made out
OF "Sweet Lavender" The action Of the
play takes place in baris,er's chambers
in Brain Court Temple, London, aud the
story deals with the love OF a young attor-
ney Tor the daughter OF his laundress or
housekeepcr-the question OF caste and
the final settlement Of everything 10 every
ones satisfaction. Many clever lines and
bright sayings intersperse the dialogue,
hut there is too strong an admiXture OF
the pathetic for the comedy to be pleasing.
Mr. Keicey gives an admirable sketch OF n
quick young American, and Miss Cayvan
looks stunning in several stylish gowns.
The production OF melodrama from the
pen OF Augustin DAILY, called the "Under-
current" was another event OF last night,
as was also the New York debut Of the
pianist Rosonlhal. But OF these, more
