Marie Wainwright at the National

MISS Wainwright production oil "IWclltn
Night was seen here last season anl won
universal praise as being the most gorge
ous and artistic setting ever given tp q
Shakcspcarcan comedy. II is in eleven
scenes, and these, together with all the
furniture and accessories, are carried by
the company, thus cnstlring absolute har
muny and completeness of every detail
No more lovely spectacle has ever been
seen upon the local stage and the acting
is worthy of the background Miss VAIN
wright's Iioid Is an cXqusitcly dainty and
delicate combination of humor and
pathos. Her beauty Of form and feature
are n delight tu the eyes, while her
musical voice aud laultlcss clocution are
equally pleasant tu the cars. The we'll
known lines gain fresh charm from her
graceful delivery. Her supporting COM
rany includes, AZ before, Barton llill,
William +. owen, Percy Brooke, Blanche
Walsh and Louise Muldoncr
That sterling comedy, "Thc Honey
moon" has not been seen hero for
some time. II Is always welcome rs its
fun of situation and brightness of diN-
loguc are continuous. Miss Wainwright
should make u charming JuiiaHd, while
Barton Hill and William +, owen should
do full Justice to the real and mock
DUtcs. The programme for the week Is
thus arranged; Monday, Tuesday, Wcdncs-
day, and Thursday evenings and Satur-
day matinee, Twelfth Night" Friday
and saturday evenings and Thursday
tNcw Years. matinee, "rhc Honey
moon" This engagement should ATTRACT
all who appreciate the best style of dra-
matte writing, interpreted by some OF the
most conscientious and capable players
now upon our stage.
