an attraction last night at Albaugb's. which
drew tne. large audience. and. furthermore
wnicn entertained and amused it through three
acts. Notwithstanding DELAYED train made the
performance begin rather late. The play Is an
adaptation from the younger Dumas Fran
cillon. and whereas the impression was abroad
| that 1t was OF the '-Therese Raouin' order of
tragic situations and blood curdling deeds it
proved 70 be high and airy comedy. quite
Frenchy. yet nevertheless so witty and so wise
/ That II was Thoroughly enjoyable. The story of
the play Is Tat OF wife (Frdncine lie Rere-
ro"eS) who holds that the law governing ner
J husbands (LUcien) morals is good enough for
| her own, and in following out her doctrine at
teupts to make a night of it at the balls and
! restaurants Of Paris. and then frankly confesses
II all to her husband. Naturally he protests.
and separation Is imminent when she admits
that her dereliction extended no further than a
! supper AT the Maisoa Dor and a visit to a
masked ball. Then it all ends happily and the
/ husband is taught valuable lesson. The char
acter of Frdacine. taken by Mrs. Potter Is
much lighter than her usual style and she pre-
sents il acceptably and gowns it beautifully.
| Mr.. Beiiew as Lucien the husband. is, as usual,
! the skillful actor. handsome and vivacious
cart is that of the Baroness Smith done by
/ Miss Annie Sutherland. Mr.. Cantley's Henri
brought him frequent recognition by the au-
dience. In fact the company is well balanced
and good at every point. A noticeable feature
/ Is the excellent stage management directed by
Mr.. Bellew himself with the result that the
movements of the actors upon the stage with
very few exceptions are as natural and
easy as if they were the real people in the real
] houses. This presents tine staginess so often
/ apparent in society plays, and as the acting is
| always quiet the effect il eminently satisfac-
/ tory. Again tonight.
