AT THE THEATER.
Miss Jane Coombs as Lady Dedlock"
in Bleak House.

Miss Jane Coombs as Lady Dedlock"
in Bleak House.
Miss Jane Coombs gave brilliant per-
Torrance of "Blelk House" at the theatre
last night Her conception Of the dual
character of Lady Dedlock" and "Hor-
tensen was remarkable piece of acting.
1t would be difficult to say in which role she
excels. Both are done with equal merit
The Interpretation by the same per-
son of two entirely dissimilar and
diverse characters in the same perform
ance is the greatest test of artistic ability.
Miss Ccombs Is an ideal Lady Dedlock."
Her conception of the character left moth
ing to be desired. As "Hortense," the crafty
and relentless French woman, sac displayed
a spirit Of revenge and a subtle cunning
perfectly in keeping with Dickens creation.
Miss Coombs not only looked the characters
but she acted them. and her acting was
marked by a naturalness that carried the
audience with her. Miss Coomb' is well
supported. Mr. Gossin's "rulkinghorn" was
exceedingly well given.
This afternoon Miss Coombs will play
Gilbert's comedy Engaged and tonight
she will reappear as Lady Dedlock" There
were not many in the audience last
night who remembered Miss CoombS
first appearance here. That was when she
was novice. Since then she has achiev ed
success as a star. She will hardly fail tc play
to good aud ences this afternoon and to-
night, for she is as clever in comedy as she
Is in emotional drama.
