Rose Coghlan in a repertoire of
comedy and drama win appear at the
New National Theatre next week, open
ing in that bright and sparkling comedy
'Peg Wellington" AS Peg she is seen
at her best. She has iu it play that
brings her TO a kind of acting that fits
her better than any other, and kind of
play that suits her as a good frame suits
charming picture. Charles Reade's
comedy is full of the light and color and
character OF far-off time, and, like
most standard comedies that have been
played for three or four decades, it is
so full Of association with the manners
and triumphs Of some of the great ones
of the stage that any new company has
| to bear great deal of odious compar-
ison with its elders. Miss Coghlan is
| the vital point Of the performance. Her
! gay, good spirits as Peg are said to be
| infectious, and she is as successful in
| the emotional as in the rollicking
scenes. The Boccherini Minuet dance
| by her and members of the company is
said 10 be delightful. as well as her
Irish jig which she dances in the third
act. Peg Wellington will be played
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and
| Thursday evenings and Wednesday
