AMUSEM ENTS
Acaderny Of w

edy, is being produced at the Academy
this week. with Miss Effie Ellsler as
Doris Vane. Doris is a clean piece,
with two or three sensational scenes,
which serve to keep it interesting.
There are a few inconsistencies in the
plot which are rather amusing, but
after all, they make such thrilling sit
uations for the hero and heroine that
the are forgiven.
Miss Ellsler is an acceptable Doris.
| She is best in the first act when she
hears of Kenneth's objections to di-
yorces. Miss Ellsler's costumes are very
much against her. They are most I'M
are not without their effect on audiences
and Miss Ellsler would do well to change
her costumes.
Holbrook Blinn, as Kenneth Ashleigh.
Mr.. Blinn has several fine opportuni-
ties. which he does not lose: Mr.. Blinn
makes an ideal country squire and acts
his part admirably.
Mr.. Frank Weston. as DR.. Brian. o.
Neil, received a warm reception from
the gallery gods. His Irish witticisms
Mr.. Brette and Miss Brisbee, taken
by Mr.. James Castle and Miss Bessie
Lestina. supply the needful hum Nr
Joseph Ransome, as Stephen Brand, is
also good in his death scene.
Doris will be given at the Academy
