THE GRAND.-Miss Clara Morris
achieved another of her old.time tri-
umphs at the Grand last night. 1t was
dramatic zation of her own, very differ.
ent from the versions given by Fanny
Davenport and Louise Pomeroy. The
star was SO hoarse from the frightful
cold she had taken at the Tehachepi
accident On Tuesday that she was
scarcely audible at times, and her cough
was distressing. For all that she threw
80 much force into the character of the
woman more sinned against than elm
ming that sympathetic audience took
her as she was and applauded her loud
ly at every opportunity. The part of
the headstrong but still manly husband
was finely rendered by Mr.. Coville, Tho
has everything to recommend him. Mr..
Meldon was very vivacious villain aud
Mr.. Vining (Vogelsang) got all there
was out of the part OF the lawyer. Miss
Morris has the HERALD's best wishes
for speedy recovery from her ailments.
