dramatic gem, not Of ponderous propor-
lions, perhaps but of the first water. The
story is worked out with the utmost nat
uralness, and the laughter is ELECTED by
the force of the complications, and not by
the physical efforts of the capable COM
pany employed for the production. Every
character is competently presented, the re-
gard for detail which is characteristic of
all performances given under the manage
ment of Augustin Daily, being very much
in evidence. Mr.. Wilfred Clarke has very
responsible role, that of the young husband
with a penchant for larks, and he played
it effectively. One of the most heartily
welcomed actors the city has seen in weeks
was Mr. Charles Richman. His part was
that Of gentle man from Ireland, as ex-
pert in compliment as he is chivalrous in
sentiment.
Mr.. Richman has a strongly attractive
personality and with 1t more than ordinary
ability as an actor. Mrs. q. H. Gilbert pre-
cipitated a gentle and delightful paradox.
She was cast for the part of shrewish
mother-fn-law, but the audience fell in love
with her as it always does, and while ad-
miring her art, refused to sympathize i'll
her asperities, save in their genial and
whimsical aspect. With comparatively lit
tie to do. Mrs. Gilbert was second to no
ether performer in the matter of applause
Miss Irene Perry was the indignant young
wife, and played the part with spirit and
discretion. Mss Lettuce Fairfax contriout-
ed good looks and careful stage training to
the attractions of the cast. Two excellent
Hobart Boswortb as the Snowman who
contr oiled the tell-tale pictures and by Mr..
Sidney Herbert as the athlete whose wife
proves to be the lady in the case.
Number Nine was preceded by little
play, entitled 1.-The Subtleties of jealousy"
which afforded opportunities for pretty
work, which Mr.. Tyrone Power. Miss Irenc
Perry, Mr.. William Hazeltone and Miss
Fairfax did not neglect.
RICHARD MANSFIELD-A dispatch
from Pittsburg, Pa, says that Mr.. Richard
Mansfield opened his annual engagement in
that city at the Alvin Theater last night bel
