Covenev,s Admiration.

Mr.. Howard Coveney, who married the
widow Florence, is very reluctant about
undertaking the part of Hon. BardwelI
SlOte, played so effectively by the lac
genial William. the former husband of his
wife. CoVeney made every effort to get
suitable man for the part, but not succeed
ing, concluded TO do as well with 1t as he
could in his own proper person. "The
Mighty Dollar" has been rewritten and
brought up TO date by the new hus band and
he has considerably altered the part
Of Slote to suit his own talent
The play as rearranged was produced at
Kansas City, Mo, and a special dispatch
to the New York Herald, March 26. makes
the following report: There seemed to be
a sense of certain unftness of things
which even Mrs. Florence's old-time humor
and delightful French laundering could not
overcome. Mr.. Coveney does not realize
the character of SlOte. although lie proves
himself a good actor. There is.a lack of
righteousness and spontanety which he
may grow ont of. The company is indif.
ferent, and if Mrs. Florence hopes to revive
her popularity she will have TO make some
changes in the cast"
One of the plays of this company Is sig
