Archer. She has inherited the wonderful
dramatic vigor that has made her ances.
tors famous; she has that indescribablo
spark Of genius and magnetism without
which 1t Is impossible to mount the ladder
Of fame. In Hoyt's "A Contented Woman"
Miss Archer has found part so thorough.
ly congonal 20 her that she has achieved
success with but little effort, it Is exactly
opposite to the characters she has assumed
while with Nat Goodwin, tho late Salvini
and others Tho supporting company Is
exceptionally strong. AS scenic produc-
tion this performance is also noteworthy.
Tho company carries o 60 foot car loaded
with the same scenery, props and effects
which were used during the phenomenal
run of "A Contented Woman" at Hoyts
Theatre, in New York City Tho play
will be seen here at the Grand Opera
