members is likely to dim the luster Of the
| star. Mr.. Mark Price as Iachimo had
more opportunities for a display of talent
! than any of his collea CUES, and used them
| well. Mr.. Lynn Pratt's Pisanlo, however,
| demonstrated his ability to do good work
in q larger part. Mr.. B. 7. Ringgolds Go

vain and boastful son OF the queen Mr.
| Tnomas Coleman, known by theater goers
| as having performed good work IN to- past,
surprised his friends last night by an ex-
cess of defamation in the part of POSTUM
mus. Miss Grace NJ. Huyck's queen was
well rendered, and those who witnessed
her performance expect to see her cast ". IN
| a more satisfying part some day. The 9TH

| parts in a creditable manner and WITH uni

pany is well harnonized. "Cymbellne' Will
be repeated tonight, and tomorrow night
| Miss Mather will appear in Romeo ana

| is good one and the staging OF the play

| ACADEMY OF MUSiC.-A thrilling and
| amusing play Of the Russian empire, ''ln
| the Name Of the Gar" was presented at
the Academy OF Music last evening, the
upper part of the house being thrilled and

| by Christof Kerovitcn, renegade, and Iva
| Ferona, a spy of the secret police. TO put
away Alexis silvitch, II lieutenant of the
! Imperial Guard. Their efforts, no matter
how carefully planned. however. are al
| ways frustrated by Hector rilworth, a
| wealthy American and ciassmate at Yale
| of the prosecuted man. The scenery and
costumes are excellent, and throughout
| the piece runs the humor OF Iarney
| O'Brien, Darreli's groom, and Marie, a
waiting maid. The company fair one,
| the women beng particularly attractive.

| won the tumut,lous applause of the au-
dience. while James r. Mccain the
governor Of the fortress made himself such

storm of Kisses each time he made his ap-
pearance. ]. f. McDonoush as the rene

season Rrodie has taken to the yauf.e-
Vile stage and Chuck Corners is shin
ing IN his place. AS a side partner Con-
