NEW PLAY BY PINERO
IT'S STRONGEST CHARACTER Is AN
OTHER SAMPLE OF NEW WOMAN.

LONDON. March 2.-Pinero's new play at
the Garrick is announced for next Saturday
and it is freely predicted that this will be
the most remarkable premier of the dra-
matte year 1895. The cast is finally ar
ranged and Kate Rorke is not included.
Ian Robertson has a part, and a new recruit
in London will appear in the person of
Aubrey Smith. Miss Ellis Jeffreys will
represent what is called sympathetic
character, and the beau role will fall to
Forbes Robertson. The scene of the play
is laid in Venice at Eastertide and the
cast numbers six men and five women.
Mrs. Patrick Campbell will play the part
of lady who is more than wife in love
and less than wife in law. This char
acter will be somewhat new to the stage
and will prove, doubtless, profoundly in
teresting, while Pinero's reconciling of or
defying the social and moral considera-
tons involved in such a womans position
cannot fail to arouse the maximum of
curiosity as to the dramatist's argument
Pinero' has not, however, expended his
strength disproportionately on this charac-
ter, but has distributed it equally. The
new piece will be found to be a drama of
man and woman.
