In the Widow Warren. Nothing could be
better than the manner in which this ac-

any one for the sake of a husband. Mrs.

he was letteT-Derfect at the rehearsal yes

the part in such clean and SYM
metrical way that rendered Mr.. Drew's

Halt is an actor, and if our public have
not found this out before they discovered
it last night. Mr.. Mckee Rankin as old
Dornton was out. Indifferent acting and
deficient study disqualified him. Why
does not this man, with his great pTeten-

the stage? The other dramatis persona
were commonplace and worthy of no par

Herr Thomas assumed the part of a
