lighted large audience at Alhaugh's last
night by his mastery Interpretation of
Baron Chevrial in "A Partisan Romance"
1t was his presentation of this character
that first brought him into public notice.
He walked upon the stage in the part of
the baron, an unknown actor, and the cur
tain fell upon veritable triumph. He was
congratulated by his associates in the cast,
and the next morning all the New York
papers gave him instituted praise for his re-
markable work. That was the beginning
of his fame, and he has steadily grown In
public favor ever since. The ability OF the
actor was in him before that, but 1t had
not been recognized, and "a Partisan Ro-
nance gave him the opportunity to DEM
onstrate the stuff he was made of. 1t Is
not to be wondered that he still clings TO
the piece as one Of the most effective In his
repertoire. He played last night with all
the cynicism that the character demanded
and with that thorough attention to detail
in costume, makeup and business that
stamps him as an artist. His company tur-
nished adequate support. Ionlght Mr;
Mansfield will appear in prince Karl

special performance OF Arms ana the
Man."
