of success with the public that renders
criticism superfuous. It holds an au-

simplest and most natural means. 1t is
one of the best combinations of humor
and pathos in melodrRma, that We have,
and seldom if ever, has theme OF marital
enlargement been more effectively
worked than in this drama. Mr.. Bryton
who is remarkable handsome man car

his naturalness and his intense fervour.
He wins the sympathy OF his spectators
at once, and in the third act rouses them
to unwonted excitement by his meeting
with his enemy and his simple bravery
and determination. Mr.. Ralph Delmore
as Denver Dan shares his honors with
Bryton, his representation of the Missis-
sippi steam boat gambler was in itself an
exceptionally note worthy feature of the
performance. The supporting company
is an excellent one.

Lowry, will be forced to bring his books
