COouelin and Hading in Nos
Intimes" at Abbey's.
Mime, Eames in " Die Meistersinger"
at the Metropolitan.

The splendid company headed by Con-
slant Coquelin and Nine. Jane Hading,
presented Sardou's four-act comedy
"Nos Intimes," at Abbey's Theatre last
night, n gave a delightful perform
ance, full of artistic value and genuine
dramatic art. The play is we'll known to
New Workers, and tells the story OF an
elderly widower who has married a
young wife. with whom a young roue
falls in love. A number of obtrusive rel
atlves visit the country house and malign
the young wife. They make sad havoc
with the happiness of the country house,
and for a time there is dissension
and humorous distress on all sides. The
husband. however, is a good-natured fell
low and will not suspect his wife,
against whom circumstance seem to
point. The play ends happily, for the
infelicities have not materialized seri-
ously. The dialogue is witty and adj
mirable, and the situations clever n
entertaining. Coquelin's work was a
study from beginning to end. and Nine.
Hading was eminently successful.
