frevs Lewis plays Il. She roads the part
with al intelligence that STAMPS her as an
artls,. She runs the kamut OF tho emo
lions without OVERRIDING line, aud
paints the iights aud shadows In
With faithfulness. Her happiest scenes
are those in which she throws
around tho character tho coquesry and
abandon OF the woman Of the dea,-monde
though her Interpretation of the pathetic
and passionate moods 10 very strong. The
fault Of the portrayal is the afectation Of
coarseness in some scenes where sugges-
tivencss would better it the character of
Stephanio. Her support is excellent. Mir.

the COUNTRY CIRCUS GREAT SUCCESS.
The Country Circus" has caught
on" and the very large audience which
was AZ tho Academy last night applauded
II with the liberalty il eminentiy de-
served. The performance is uniqne one,
and one that will interest all classes OF
people. 1t Is comedy something on the
order Of the County Fair" (only much
better thatends with o regular old-tIme
circus performance. The first three acts
are really merely an introduction to the
ring scene. and would be inconseQuent but
for the very attractive circus procession
that passes over the stage.
Tho ilCa Uh1ch Ia mt into exopufion in
the Country Circus" IS assuredly most
novel one, and the way IN which il !:
put on the stage really deserves the term
superb" Inc ring scene is developed
