In making him give up the woman he loves to favorite nephew with whom he accidentally discovers she is infatuated. The real man would not have been capable of this, bat what does 1t mattera We do not go to the theater to study pure history. We have an idealized "Beau Brummell" and good play.
 Mir. Mansfeld's rendition of this part is | said to be his best work, and MT. Mans fields best work means good deal. The | most wonderful feature of his acting is its | consistency throughout. The humor, the exquisite humor, of the first three acts is | only equaled by the psthos, the in- tsnsely human pathos of the last, and the transition is SO easily made that the exact line between them cannot be drawn. Here is the art of it all. In the Calais boarding house we see all those pe- culiarities which he has worn so lightly and gracefully at first, showing grim and ghastly in their new surround ings. It is the beginning, the suggestion of the end. In the garrett at Caen all is changed to horror. His habits, his courtly manners, show ghastly against the awful poverty of his surroundings, like paint on a dead mans face. The poor, weak mind cannot get away from the trihes which have been it's own thought in other days, and even at the very last, when he is held up in the arms of his friends, the dying lips close forever in trying to stammer out trifling instruction to his valet.
 Mir. Harkins made a capital "Wsles" and Reginald Courtney, BrummelPs nephew, was played with good taste by MT. Arthur Forrest. Messrs. F. Finch Smiles and A. E. Andrews contributed respectively clever character sketches ss Lord Manly and Richard Brinsley Sheridan.
 Special praise is due MT. Griffith, as Oliver Vincent, the "city" merchant, and MT. Ferguson, as Mortimer, the valet. For the ladies, Miss Cameron was somewhat disappointing as Mariana, and Miss Kate Burton, ss the Duchess of Bennington, was capital. The others were competent. This afternoon at 9 o'clock Richard Mansfield will present "The Scarlet Let ter," which he has made a great success in New York MT. Mansfield will be sup ported by a strong company of artists, and the play will also have the advantage of special scenery and appropriate costumes Vreeland's minstrels will appear this evening. An exchange says; Vreeland's minstrels gave very acceptable perform ance last night. The house was crowded and the audience showed its appreciation \ of the performance by generous applause. MT. Deming, who is the bright particular star of comedy, is very funny, while MT. McEvoy is not much behind. The singing
 is good, MT. Holmes "A King am" being
 especially good.

 be presented.

 and include transformation scene, whicl
 is masterpiece of mechanical ingenuity } The company's costumes were rich and ap ] propriate. The knife fight in the third ac Is very real and MT. Layton and MT. Brow

 which they fight. The poisoning scene o
