ager HarriOtt. His story convicts
Harriott of ungentlemanly con-
duct generally and very unbusi-
nesS-like methods in more than
one case. 1t is De Belleyile's theory
that his salary of $3.50 was too heavy a
drain on the Morris purse, and, though
port to Miss Morris, he was cut off
simply to reduce expenses, contract or
no contract.
Ada Gray opened her engagement at
the Harris last evening to good house.
Miss Gray has so often and for so long
a time preached to US the lessons Of
EAST Lynne'' that one would now
ground the idea that she must, at this
late day, be doing her well-worn part
far behind the spirit in which the char
acter Of Lady Isabel and Madame Vine
should be portrayed. Albeit this is
not the case. as attested by the euthusi-
asm of the audience last night, and the
sincerity of Miss Gray's Lady Isabel.
Chief in the success of "East Lynne'
as it presents itself this week, is tie
character Miss Gray herself assumes.
Not that her support utterly fails to
spice the messy plot of so threadbare
fabric. for at best. East Lynne" has a
charm for few. But it is the tempera-
ment, the smoothness of her portrayal,
and the depth of her emotion which
still make Miss Gray interest
ing in her Lady Isabel. The
parts of Sir Francis Levison and Archi-
bald Carlyle are being carried with lit
tie or no art on the part of their SUBJ
jects. There at once is the flattering
influence upon the plot, and unless
these characters are moved in equal
balance and to as strong an effect as
Lady Isabel is in the hands of Miss
Gray. the auditor finds nothing to in
splre him to sit throughout five tedious
acts. Miss Beach, as Barbary Hare,
should stand forward while singing and
thereby do more for her hearers than
for the dumb scene frames and other
apparatus piled upon the rear of the
stage. Miss Gray is as interesting as
be said that it is fair, and especially
brilliant in minor parts.
