ground for mob violence. On tho
whole we are glad the audience re-

An unusual figure hiss aroused a
good deal OF comment during the week
at the Star Theatre. IL lisa soubreile
Of such dlminutivc proportions that
she looks a. u she might almost have
been 4 member Of the Liliputlans. She
was new 10 New Workers., anu the i'm.
preston prevailed for some time that
she was recruit from the amateur
stage. But 1t turns out that Miss
Gladys Wallace has been on the stage
for four or Ave years, though she might
easily pass for sixteen years OF age.
Her appearance In the second act OF
the comedy has the peculiar effect OF
making all the other women on the
stage look Of gigantic stature. Miss
O'Neill for Instance, is small AMI Fragile
enough In appearance, hut when sue
began TO romp around the stage with
Mis- Wallace In ths second act she
looked like u tall ami robust woman.

4 nrLOIAS DRAMATIsr.
Foreign magazines, snya mn ex'
change, have been busy Of late with
the name Of Maurice MAeterbruok, a
young Belgian dramatist. The Paris
Figaro has praised him Ia the highest
teens, William Arcner has written az
article about him IN the fortnightiy
RerlotD, aud w. ID. Howells In liar
psr's Magazine writes: eve group
him with the pleta because II seems To
US that the two little plays Of his which
Mary vlole has given us n very I'M
affected English, transcend the iorm
OF pruso aud nlly themselves In elect
with the effect Of verse. In n KIND Of
elemental directness, they arc far bo-
You'd Ibsen, while they deal with no
rocial or individual problems, but touch
us through our mer. humanity, not 10
say mortality, where we arc not cltl'
Eens, and scarcely men or women, but
only Man"
The following Ia the way In which
Mr.. Howells characterizes these two
one net dramas; One OF tho pieces
Ia called "rhe Intrudcr," aud cx.
presses the advent OF death In
the circle Of n family sitting together
after the birth Of child, while tho
mother lies IN the next room. The way
~ which death l. realized ~ something
Collectively nppTeciablr 10 the nerves,
IN TREMENDOUS; but hardly anything
less than the quotation Of the whole
brief drama would give the notion OF
It's finely graduated climax.
The other piece h perhaps even
more hornlc. A company OF blind
people has been led from their asylum
10 n distant wood near the vintry sea
by an old priest, who suddenly dies
and sit. silent and cold In the midst OF
their helplessness. Al last the priest'n
dog finds them and now they think
that they are safe, that the dog Will
lead them back to the Asylum. But
the dog will moi leave the body.

Theatre to n fair house and was ~
ceivcd with enthusiasm. Mr. Willard
has proven himself an artist OF great
genius and he Ia surrounded by com.
pany In whose commentator II would
be- difficult 10 say tho much. Plays
like "Judah" and "rhe Middlemau"
cannot but create lasting, buuencent
impressions. They are lamentably
scarce ON tho stage. "The Middle.
man" will be seen again tonight.
Everybody should avail themselves OF
the opportunity.
