A new play entitled "Nemesis" was the
performance mich Rose Cog hlan appeared
in at the Providence Opera House last
evening.
sNemesis,v as the name implies, is
story OF revenge and is based upon the
life long purpose OF young Russian girl
20 humiliate the man who had wronged
her. 1t gives the star, Miss Coghlan, an
excellent opportunity for passionate dec
lamation, and the expression OF sarcasm
and hatred. AS the Princess Wallanon
she appears in Paris rich and beautiful
woman, and wins the heart OF the Mar
quis D'Aumale, the man whom she thinks
Is the one who had allured her from her
home and deserted her years before. The
marquis and the princess are married, and
then the wife denounces her husband as
libertine, and on the wedding day declares
her hatred for him. She had married him
to secure the nsme that had been denied
TO the humble, trusting girl in Russia.
That is the revenge, but the Marquis
D'Aumale is innocent. The wrong had
been done by his twin brother who had
died years before and whose name and title
the husband OF Wallanoff had assumed.
Reconciliation follows and the wife re-
tracts her statements as the Marquis Is
about to engage in a duel with Count
Ogareff, who had tainted him with his
wife's scorn.
Mr.. John I. Sullivan as Count Ogareff
adds much To the spice OF the production
rs man who would marry Princess Wal
lanoff for her millions and cares little by
what method he succeeds. Mr.. Cecil
Morton York as Hon. Tom Abingdon
smythe furnishes what comedy there is
An Nemesis" and does 1t well.

"The Amaxons" is unquestionsbly one
Of the best things in comedy way that
has graced the American stage for many
years. The story, as will be seen from the
following brief outline, Is entirely unique:
Lady Castlejordan, a type OF British
athletic womanhood, has her three daugh-
ters trained as athletes. Both she aud
her late husband, who Is described In the
play as a grand piece of muscular hu-
nanity, had prayed for boys; but
they were doomed to disappointment.
They therefore resolved 10 bring
their three daughters up as boys.
They were taught to ride, hunt, box.
fence and go in for athletic sports in gen.
eral. Within the ancestral park they
dressed In shooting jackets and knicker-
bockers. Lady Thomasin is boy in every
movement, and in every taste. Lady
Noeline discovers that she is a bit Of
woman after all, while Lady Will
hemina is an open protest against
her knickerbockers. Presently three men
slip into the park and begin to make love
to the Amazons. Each Of these is a dis
tinct type. Mr.. Pinero indeed has no
superior in dramatic Literature in the por-
trayal Of character and his characters
in .The Anazons" might have stepped
out OF the pages OF Dickens or Thackeray.
The acting with cast like the foregoing
will be OF a high order, and 1t Is safe to
say that "The Amazons" will prove one
OF the most delightful entertainments o.
the FOCAL dramatic season.
"Oid Hoss" Hoey OF "Parlor Match"
notoriety will be seen in his new play en-
titled "Flams" at the Providence Opera
House the first half of the week Begin
ming Jan. 2S.
There bids fair TO be series of laugh
at B. +. Keiih's Opera House, Monday
night next, Jan 21, when William Collier
will appear as "Shiftless Ike" In Edward K.
Kidder's new comedy, "a Back Number"
