Broad and Honest Irishfsm.


Miss Annie Ward Tiffany is filling the
Alcazar with a clever exhibition of this
quality. AS Peggy Logan, the faithful Hi
bernian servant, twenty years in one FAM
ily," she is the heart and soul of The
Stepdaughter," and her free speech and
characteristic comparisons. her general man.
ner are as racy of the soil of the time
honored island from which she halls, in the
play, as the turf the frieze-coated peas
antry cut from the boys of Allan. The
play IS a coarse and broad one, Mr..
L. r. Shewell, its author, never penned
anything else; but it takes. The audience
endure the majority OF the cast while they
wait for Peggy, and for the chance to laugh
at and with her. At the same time there is
merit in her support. Mr.. Leo Cooper is
doing better work as Mr.. EgertOn, the old
husband, than we have been able to credit
him with in many Of his characters We
begin to think old men are young Mr..
Cooper forte, as they have been before
time of many youthful actors quite as
ambitious as himself to shine in the roman
tic school. George II. Trader, the repro
bate son of Mrs. Egerton, also does some
capital acting in the assignment of Allen
ITavers. especially in the drunken scene
with Peggy, who handles him like the
weeks wash waiting for the laundry
woman. Nick Long has fitting part in
Luigi Soldlan, his pal. Give Nicholas
dialect Bit whero he can crumble the
French or Italian into bad English, and he
is 4 happy actor. He is bissful in this part
So far as the ladies are concerned, Miss
Eleanor Barry, as Mrs. EgeTton, plays
the wife OF old EgertOn and the
stepmOther of his daughter, Ruby, to salts
faction. She is bold, bad woman, who
loves some one else besides her aged huS-
band, and that some one utterly abh0rs and
rejects her advances. Consequently, rs,
according to the pet, "hell hath no fury
like woman scOrned." her sole object in
life is revenge. In that vengeance "some
one" is included as well as her stepdaugh-
ter, Ruby Miss Nellie Young, who is pre-
ferred to her. The play in its general trend
is not uninteresting; but the strength, pith
and purpose of 1t centers in Miss Annie
Ward Tiffany. as Shewell undoubtedly pro-
posed it should when he wrote it. Tiffany
is more stalwart as an Irish woman than

Haworth's "Fernclifr."

great many people see it nightly. Mr..
Joseph K GriSmer is doing better with Tom

perienced stage man. it takes him, as in the
case of good many others, a little time to
settle himself i'll the harness of new per-
sonation before he can make the proper
pace. Even such veteran actor as Barton
Hill confessed that his knees smote together
at the wings when waiting tor his entrance
in an untried part As for Miss Phoebe
Davies, who plays Annie, Toms wife, she
is the observed of all observers. How COM
pletely this little woman loses her identity
in any character she assumes! She grasps
the situation completely, reads her text
with clear dulcet tones that fall like music
on the ear, and In the pathetic passages-as
when she embraces her returned husband
there are tears in her voice." as the French
say. Mr.. Arthur Livingston, who plays
