To those who are fond of tragedy
there have been few plays at the
Opera House of late years that were
better than that Of Paul Kauvar by
Steele Mackaye as presented last
evening by Eugene Robinson's COM

situations and startling develop
menIs, and the company is a strong
one and brings it cut well. Miss
Ro5elle Knott as Diane de Beaumont
is really a fine actress, and in the third
and fourth acts she carried her audi.

Kauvar, did excellently well. The
entire troup is well balanced.
