beginning of the second act, at the
breakfast table, where her powers as a
mimic are shown in the description of
what her life is henceforth to be in that
country home. Another the insolence
displayed by her towards Mrs. Cortelyon
when that lady makes her first call. Such
woman as Mr.. Kendall makes Paula
would show herself In just such way,
while an adventures of greater capacity
would be scrupulously polite. The deli
cate and finer art of the actress was
shown in the scene where she actually
pleaded for the love of Eileen. Here her
better and worse qualities alternately
strive for the mastery, and also where she
thinks Eileen expresses an affection for
her from from motives of her own. Per-
haps as strong an impression as an!
made by her was in the final scene
when, leaving Aubrey, she dashes to the
door, and turning before going to her
death, cranes forward to give him
a parting glance, appearing with
straining eyes and haggard features like
an animal bounded to it's end. These
are but few of the many points IN a
very strong but repulsive characterize
ton.
Mr.. Kendall as Aubrey gave a sincere
and natural personation of Aubrey Tan
queray. He was a*polished gentleman
Of society whose acting heightened and
flroadened the poItraiture of Mrs. X en-
dali. The rest OF the company require
| but few words. Mr.. J. F. Graham was
good as Cayley Drummle, Miss Florence
Cowell made a very fair Mrs. Cartelyon.
MISS Marion Lea did not, by any means,
make of the character OF Eileen what
could have been done with it, while Mr..
Forbes's Capt. Ardaie was failure both
in looks and action.
The play was well staged, and cos
tuned, Mrs. Kendall's gowns and dia-
monGs being very attractive
A great drawback Saturday evening
was the fact that either the stage was
too large or else both Mr.. and Mrs.
Kendall spoke too indistinctly to ena-
BILE the dialogue to he perfectly under
stood, and to add to this imperfection
there was. at times, considerable noise
behind the scenes. The curtain was
called after every act, and twice at the
close of thessecond act.
We hope the Kendalls will appear here
again before long in theatre suited to
their talent and in light comedy where
Mr.. and Mrs. Kendall are both so effect
i've and captivating.
