LOUISVILLE. Ky. NEW YORK. NJ.
| Inc play is clever satire on New
| York fashionable society, and deals with
the ambitions of the wife and daughter
OF q western multi-millionaire to be re-
| ceIved into the charmed circle of the 400,
| and to achieve this desire the daughter
is married to an Austrian prince who,
| not satisfied with one member Of the
family, directs his attention to'the moth
er. The latter repels his advances and is
relieved from a trying position by the
timely arrival of the husband. The prince
dies, and the play as a consequence, ends
happily.
The dialogue is bright and Witty; the
stage setting beautiful, notably SO the
mantle scene in the third and fourth
acts with it's studded electric lights,
while potted plants, ferns, etc., find ap-
propriaJe places. The gowns of the la
dies were gorgeous and quite put in the
shade the creations of the former plays.
The atmosphere of the part assigned to
| Mr.. Douglas exactly suited his tempera-
| ment and his raposeful style of action.
and the intensity which marked his act.
| ing in that very strong scene in the third
| act is commendable.
| Miss Rowan as Diana was impressive
| by her stateliness and commanded at
tention by her attractive personality and
| winsome ways. Mr.. Low portrayed the
Prince in an UNASSIGNED, finished and
| forceful manner, his work in the serpent
scene in the third act was especially
effective
| Miss Virginia johnson was strikingly
gowned and her acting was the acme
manner was most convincing. The COM
edy element went to Miss Myrtle May,
whose work was very satisfactory, while
| the character bits contributed by Scott
Cooper and Agnes Proctor were inimit-
able.
| Mr.. Morrison as the French count.
spoke with faultless accent, and the
good qualities of the young Duke were
personated to perfection. Mr.. Thomas
and Mr.. Giblyn furnished lot of hunor
| by their really excellent impersonations
of the Anglo-American, and the genuine
article-The English marquis. Mr.. Wal
lack was good as the English Earl.
| Mr.. Eberle's stage direction was mas.
terful, and on every side were seen eyi.
dences of his discrimination taste and
dainty Judgment.
The play was the most enjoyable one
yet seen at this resort, and 1t deserves
| crowded houses at each of the remaining
performances of the week.
