There were two matinees yesterday afternoon
Of an exceptional nature. At the Garden The
atre Charles Coghlan appeared in 1.-THE Royal
Box" the servicoable translation which he has
made from Dumas's "Kean; or. Genius in Dis
order" This was for the benefit Of the actors in
New York who had been unable to see the play
at other times. Charles Frohman suggested the
performance with the sage observation that he
would like all his actors toIsee such good art as
Mr.. Coghlan displays as Clarence. That there is
much in that performance which any player
might be glad to possess Is beyond dispute.
There are In It just the case. finish. and poise
which are rare to-day. These qualities may
como only with long experience. but there is
unluckily little promise of their abundance In
the future. Mr.. Coghlan's elocution is also an
accomplishment which many actors envy.
The theatre was crowded with actors who bad
como to see this drama Of theatrical life. There
may have been no particular amount Of genius
among the spectators, but there was no dis

the close of the fourth act Mr.. Coghlan was re-
called by his audience. Most of the well known
players in town were there. In one box sat
Rose Coghlan and in others were various mem.
