Performance Of "Lord Chumley" by
n. sOthern.

Performance OF "Lord Chumley" BY T..
~. soshem.
The story Of "Iord Chumlcy" has been
given is this paper. but il would be impos
sible 10 tell il as Mr.. J.. II. sothorn and his
excellent supporting company told 70 az The
Academy of Music last night. The charac-
ter whom Mr.. SOthorn so admirably pOrirays
is "a man apparently Of little brain, with q
drawing voice, but who is courageous, un-
selfish and most fertile of resources. and
when his friend is in trouble shows himself
"a hero Dy making the most rigid sacrifice 90
serve him. The character is novel one,
and IL is doubtful If there is another actor
who could give il as true and liie-llke pOr-
travail as does this comedian. whose abili-
ties are especially fitted TO this line OF work.
Miss Charlotte iittcll is q very pretty girl,
and gave an excellent portrayal of Llenor,
the Girl with with whom ohumley rs in
love. Rowland Blackstone, M Adam
Buttorw0rth. ana Walter Craven. as
Casper le Lage are very good
i'm their respective roles. White White
soy was effective as Lieutenant Hugh But
torw0rth. and Miss Alice Livingston, pretty
and natural. as Hugh'- sweetheart.
Miss ktiie Wilson. as Meg. the servant, and
". b. ROysier. her sweetheart. created
great deal of laughter Miss Adelaide
Thornton gave "a finished performance OF
Lady Adcline Barker. rather ancient lady
that falls i'm love with Chumley. There Us
not q dun movement or tiIesome line IN
the whole play. "LOrd Chumlcy' is one OF
the best comedies that has been seen in
Richmond this year.
Tonight Mr.. soihern will produce his
original success. ''lhe Highest Bidder
