MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Jeffreys Lewis.

s'Forget Me Not is not an agreeable
play in that it reveals the noisome side
of life in manner that, while it may
serve as an object lesson and warning,
is still not necessarily lesson that all
should learn. 1t is the story of an adj
ventures, and an adventures as pre-
sented by Miss Lewis, of the baser sort.
It is in this that she differs in her con-
ception and characterization from that
of Miss Genevieve Ward. In the pres
ence of Miss Lewis's Stephaine, you feel
you are face to face with a base and cru
ell woman. But Miss Ward artfully
conceals the worst in the character Of
the Forget Me Not by the grace and ele-
gance of the society woman.
The Forget Me Not, or Stephaine de
Morivart, married the Marquis de MORT
vart whenl mere girl, and the home of
the couple became an elegant gambling
hell where young men of wealth and
family fell in love with the wife and lost
their money. A son Of Stephaine's mar
ried an English lady of good family, but
not being of age, according to the
French law, the marriage is illegal I'M
less the parents consent. The Marquis
having. been assassinated by young
Corsican who has been swindled at the
gaming table and been bewitohed by the
wife, Stephaine goes to Rome and forces
her society on the sons widow, determ-
ming through her daughter-in-law's fear
of the exposure of the secret as to whose
widow she is, to obtain place in Roman
society and wealth. Her daughter-in-
laws sister is. however, engaged to Sir
Horace Welby, an Englishman who has
has known Stephaine, and he contrives
to thwart Forget Me Not's plans. He
discovers the Corsican, who has come
from the galley and who only seeks
Stephaine to kill her. The fear of this
Corsican is the one weak spot in Ste
phaine. When she finds out that the
Corsican is living and at hand she gives
way to her terror and gives UP the
game.
Miss Lewis looks the character of
Stephaine to perfection from her con-
ception. She is large in person; she is
mistress of facial expression, and her
black eyes are used with the skill OF
a finished actress of the French school.
Every gesture is effective, every shrug of
the shoulders speaks volumes. In the
first act she presents the side of the
character where she feels she has the
cords in her own hands with the cruel
grace of the cat when playing with a
mouse. In the second, in her interview
with Sir Horace. she rises to great dra-
matte power. But it is in the third and
last, when the human leopard is brought
to bay and the once terrible woman be-
comes pitiable in her abject terror, that
the greatest work of the actress is done.
AS we have said, it is a characterization
of immense power and it held the audi
ence firmly to the close of the play. Miss
Lewis's gowns were handsome, but the
one in which she first appears was a
magnificent creation.
Miss Lewis was excellently supported.
Mr.. Harry Mainhall's Sir Horace, was
easy, natural and strong. Mr.. Here

About s o'clock last evening, just after
officer F. A. Usher had reported at the
police signal box near the Custom House
and resumed his beat, he was confronted
by John W. Burke, an old Jail bird, and
Jack Myers, discharged fort soldier, in
front of Hernandez's fruit store on Com
mercial street. Without saying word
Burke drew revolver and fired two
shots at the officer, neither of which,
fortunately, took effect. Then he and
Myers took to their heels. AS quite a
crowd of men and women were on the
street Officer Usher did not return the
shot, for fear of injuring the innocent
by-standers, but reported the affair at
once to the police station. Policemen
and sheriffs we're both put Jon the search
and secured the city for the would-be
murderer.
It seems that Burke owed Officer Ush-
er grudge for arresting michael Bolan
(who SO severely assaulted Olsen last
week. in his, Burke's, room, where Bo-
Ian was secreted, and vowed to get even.
Bolan was pocket peddler for Burke,
who keeps small shop. ostensibly for
the sale of ''soft stuff" at the corner Of
Silver and Fore streets.
If Burke is caught, Thomaston will
doubtless be his lot. He is hard char
