The morning call., 1891-03-26

NictOTieD SaTdOu'S "Ihe LXlleS" (adapted
by L. r. ShewelD fairly filed the auditor
ium last evening, and it could clearly be
seen that the performance pleased and ex-
cited the people in attendance TO no ordi-
nary degree There are eight spectacular
tableaux in this composition, set in a wealth
of new scenery, painted especially for this
occasion, and the cast, in the names Of its
principals. commends Itself as an excellent
one. Ii is as follows:
NJ. Max de Lassiers. wealthy Frenchman.....
NJ. ScheIm Ghisf of the Filth Bureau Of i'm
perai Police OF St. Petersbnrg..JameS t. Wilson
Count Vladimir Lanine Russian no9leman

"'The Exiles' is strongly dramatic and
calls fer strong action from all the dramatis
persan9-actiOn, too, that is demonsiratiVe
in all the features of the work the actor has
in hand. There were, however, some neat
and quiet touches of the melodramatic tur-
moil by Miss Ethel Brandon as Nadage,
love for whom inspired the Russian Chief of
Police, NJ. Schelm, in his movements
through all the different phases OF the
story, which belongs TO the thrilling times
When leagued Oppression poured to northern wars
Her whiskered Pandours and her fierce hussars,
And every Russian official carried himself
with the wartime license. The part Of NJ.
Schelm was admirably played by Mr..
James E. Wilson. He was manly in his
bearing and one felt inclined to excuse even
his most desperate acts of villalny, not only
on account of the license of the time, but
also, when the part was considered, that
most of them grew out OF his slavery to
love, and the northern tierceness of his de-
sire to possess the object of his
passion. Z" 70 his eve there was but one
beloved face on earth" Mr.. Richard Foote
took the role assigned to Mr. William Beach,
who, we are sorry IT, say, is confined TO bed
by illness. His substitute made very good
play. however. with Mons. Max de Las
siers. the wealthy Frenchman, being
character that laid quite in his way. Good
the Russian Vladimir, ard by Mr.. Leo
Cooper as Colonel Palkine, his cousin. The
drama had not suffered evidently frum the
extra rehearsal given it. Every individual
in the cast held himself well together, and
acti0n, under the circumstances, had 20 be
prompt and decisive in order to be effective
1.-The Exiles" is up for run.
MIR. GAME EXPLAINS.
1t is due to Mr.. George r. Caine, an eff
cient member of the Alcazar company, that
the following note be printed. AS it sug-
gests, the error complained of probably
aros. from the fact that Mr.. Foote was in
treaty at the time with the management to
take Mr.. Beach's place until that gentleman
recovered from his indisposilion. Mr..
Caine writes:
The Call: noticed In to-day's issue that
Mr.. Richard FooIe is given the credit Of playing
MIR. William Beach's part in michael Strogoh''
