which was liberal with its applause.
The principal numbers were trloS FOR

numbers was admirably brought out.
the former being of rather heavy
style, with the piano predominating.
while in the latter ii was subordinated
to the string instruments, and the COM
position of itself was apparently sim
pie, but difficult in the style of Haydn
and Mozart. The minuet by Pollini
from his suite, opus 3, met with special
favor. Miss A. b. Fisher, pupil Of
Mr.. Herndon Morsell. gave three songs.
in admirable voice and style, with
purity of tone and expression Her
best number was "Chanson Haranaise
(Greig) Miss Wignall's cello solo,
Rondo by Boccherini, met with
hearty reception and was followed as
encore by "Slumber Song" Dorm. In
both of these numbers her playing was
that of an artist. and its equal has sell

violin solo, Revere (VieuXtemps)

willard IN "The Rogue's Comedy"

wiIIar d III. "The Rogue's Comedy
Mr.. E. S. Willard played The Rogue's
Comedy" last night at the Lafayette
to a crowded and appreciative house.
This comedy, as usual with Mr.. Will
lard's plays, has an underlying pathos
of even deeper interest than the wit
and humor which caused, now and
then, ripples of spontaneous iaguhter.
quickly smothered lest some new point
in the actors artistic portrayal should
be lost The character of Bailey Pro-
there, confidence man, swindler, liar,
cynic, man of the world, would be al
most impossible in the hands of anyone
but Mr.. willard BY his sympathetic
and careful touches the audience is
brought to see the grains of gold which
sometimes lie scattered in the dross of
even a rogue's nature, and is gently led
to even a greater thought-the thought
of human brotherhood. The most viz
tuous and upright person finds himself
feeling, toward the end of the second
act. that he would like to see the two
Protheros get safely away with their
stolen money. and then he wonders
what made him feel in that way, and
then he discovers, to his utter aston
ishment. that he isn't ashamed of the
feeling. but rather glad of it. 1t is all
very well TO be virtuOus and upright,
but there are other things in this world
besides the consciousness Of virtue after
which it is well to reach now and then,
and one of them is sympathy with peo-
pie less virtuOus than ourselves.
Miss Keith Wakeman appeared in her
first important part this week, as Mrs
Prothero, alias Miss Jennison, and her
impersonation was a worthy second to
Mr. Willard s-charmingly natural,
simple and touching. Mrs. II. Cane did
a very fascinating bit of work as Lady
Clarabut, and the other characters were
all well taken.
Tonight and tomorrow afternoon Mr.
Willard will play David Garrick," and
tomorrow night The Middleman-'
