where having proved 10 the people that
lawless acts would not be tolerated. The
large Sunday crowds of idlers were not
factors in the situation yesterday, and
most OF the people have gone abodt their
usual weekday avocations.
The abortive attempt OF disor1erly stu
dents TO make a demonstration before the
United States legation has been the only
overt act, though the excitement OF tho
public mind over the Cuban question still
runs high.
Yesterday was not so quiet elsewhere In

are reported from several points.
Barcelona has maintained the reputation

IL always earnest in her work and there

reader and a capable actress. Her natural
self is in perfect harmony with the char
acter; therefore il is not TO he wondered
at that her Juliet is particularly inter est
ing. She develops Capulet's fair daughter
consistently from the bride of ii years to
the woman through the powerful agency
of love. There is no mistaking her mean
ing from this point up TO the gruesome
tragedy in the burial vault. There were
no nitches and balts in the impersona-
tion. 1t was finely sustained throughout.
OF course faults were apparent, the most
noticeable being tendency to awkward
right hand gesticulation, but this was OF
minor Importance in the charming per-
formance as n whole. The young actress
was much pleased with her cordial recep-
ton and appeared after each act to ac-
knowledge hearty appreciation from the
demonstrative audience.
Robert Taber's Romeo was careful and
intelligent performance, lacking only In
passages demanding great strength. He
had a rational and agreeable conception OF

Mr.. Coleman was particularly happy in

Indeed it cannot be recalled when the
character was more clearly illustrated.
Mrs. Smith was likewise especially good

persons had ATTENDED the afternoon and
evening performances, and they would
have been there il the weather had been
more propitous. The attraction was "Mc-
Kenna's Flirtation," one OF the funniest
pieces ever constructed, dealing with the
ludicrous mistakes OF two lrishmen who
are old enough to know better, and who
were heretofore made best known to us
by Barry and Fay. The portrayal at
Lothrop's of Timothy McKenna, by Ed
gar Selden. and Michael Ryan, by Il. +.
Thomas, was apparently quite as accept
able as any previous delineation. They
were excruciatingly funny and the audi
ences roared and laughed and appls suied
from beginning to end. II was Mr.. eel
uen's first appearance here and he will
have to come again, SO popular will he be-
come this week. He is an author Of merit

much true acting, even though the story

The particularly noticeable feature OF
the presentation OF "Romeo and Juliet"

many in the large audience weather

piece OF love drama.
"Romeo and Juliet" has been offered
many times in this city, but IL cannot be
recalled when the beautiful play had such
a beautiful stage dress as on this occa-
sion. 1t was complete in all details,
and 1t was manipulated with gratifying
precision. 1t was like looking at new
production.
Coupled with appropriate and elaborate
scenery was acting Of high order
of merit. Julia Marlowe Taber

and an apparent love for her art. eie-
