AMI Remarkable Performance.

The Opera Fousa was The scene of Striking
AMI Remarkable Performance
The great play of ''Credt lorraine" has
been composed this season for Miss Lewis by
Mr. Lawrence Marston; and that gentleman has
achieved success in originality of plot and start
ling dramatic incident which is developed by
action instead of dialogue. The adherence to
French 8racieristics, the title denotes, is
we'll preserved, AMI the various roles are ex-
cellently outlined and were IN ide consistent
with each other. The author, though COM
paratlvely young, has also written several other
plays of merit. an is destined to D: famous as q
present drama is somewhat too somber and
contracted however.
Miss Lewis has much improved since her visit
to thi city last season, having as a studous
and conscientious artist cultivated her powers
during the vacation by private effort and by OBJ.
serving the best talent in Europe. Her facial
expression, gestic Ilation ami mo 1ul alton of
voice have all received benefit. She is thus

of the best class. In the role OF "Lenoria" sac

strange and eventually good WON IN. Her de-
lineation of passion is at times interesting

The company all strong. The realistic
act. ,g of Mr.. Whtecar as PHILIPPE and Mr..
Cowper as De Lusisnan, especially the latter,
realistic and deserves more than passing
mention. Mr. Marsion rendered the difficult
role of the parslytic spy finely.
The scenery was appropriate and elegantly
set, and the stage manager OF the opera house.
Mr. A. o. Hebard, is doing himself no little
credit by his tasty and careful arran remen.s.
A large and highly critical audience testified
demoustIatively their just appreciation of the
presence of an elevating and legitimate drama.
At the close of the performance it an.
bounced from the stage that the management oil
the opera house had been at especial pains to
secure the temperance OF Miss Lewis h re
