THE DRAMA.
THE NEW PLAY AT DALYS.

Mr. Sconthan's new play, The Countess GucKi
adapted by Mr.. Daily. has been received WIN
abundant favor at Days Theatre, where II was
produced last Tuesday, and the announcement -
made that al other novelties designed for presenta
ton there are postponed. The brightness, the
sngu,arity, and the touch Of romance In Mr.. Soon
thans comedy. together with the uncommon.y me
acting with which the piece is interpreted seem 10
have aroused uncommon sympathy and interest.
There Is moment in the performance that
ought particularly to be commended,-that namely
OF the veteran Russian Generals proposal or mar
rage Mr. Edwin Stevens, who plays the cfeneldi,
invests this moment with peculiar charm, because
of his simple dignity. refinement OF manner, anu
genuine and not exaggerated tenderness OF fee!ihS
The character Is one that must be very difficult OF
representation, for the that while essent al
10 the action, Il is not intrnslcaliy important MI
Stevens has made 1t agreeaby prominent witn0ut
making It obtrusive, and that result was possipie
only to much discretion ard skill. The well-goV-
erned emotion and sincere and gentle demeanoI Oh
Miss Rehan as the Countess Hermance.-not only IN
that scene. but in the OF the favored rover
woOing,-enhance the strong effect or sentiment al
this representation. . 49,, -, -.
The comedy of THE Countess Gucki' was by no
means an easy to carry, and its success Is al
the more gratifying for that reason Mr Lewis mas
made a brilliant hit the comic Counseuor-to
whom he mparts drollery much beyond the m
tinnatlons OF the character as written. "A word OF
commentator is due to Mr.. Bridgland Tor MS cor
rect and adequate presentment OF the Messenger
who receives the COunselor's defiance. IL Is some
thing in this world. to be good listener: on the
stage 1t is often of superlatlve importance
