THE VICTORIA CROSS"

The most friendly judge at the Lyceum Theatre
last night must have found 1t hard to detect the
symptoms OF decided success in the performance
II was the beginning OF f. II. Sothern's annual
engagement and he appeared in a play called
"The Victoria Cross" by Paul NJ. Potter. 1t was
received for the part in silence. and such APP
pause as occurred from time TO time seemed to
arise rather from politeness than from enthusiasm.
II is needless TO say that the play Is written
with the purpose OF giving Mr.. Sothern part
adapted TO his personality and his artistic abilities
In this II is In measure successful The part
is that Of young English clergyman in India
He is much a soldier than parson and the
Church would unquestionably claim him only In
Its militant branch He is the sort OF man that
spirited girl would love. II she had good taste. and
spirited girl does love him. accordingly He de-
tends house against an enemy. let's himself be
suspected OF cowardce to save the brother OF the
woman he loves from the like charge. and straight
ems out the crooked affairs OF the other people in
Mr.. Sothern acquits himself in this part with
he spirit and grace that are familiar to those
few years His personality is thoroughly attractive.
and he makes every part that he plays faseinauns
clergyman such as ne represents would be a
charming moral guide an enviable tutor IN Greek,
an undoubted annoyance TO his bshop ana d
horror TO the elderly woman OF staid haoits' sue"
shady Tremenheere in the play. ,,a r,av IS
chiefly distinguished by its midness. II Is mid
