A adY Of Quality" the Star Attraction
in the Amusement Line.
This powerful play, which has brought
comparatively unknown actress fame
and fortune, for months has been eager
ly longed for by every constant or oo-
casional theatre-goer Miss Arthur,
fresh from great triumph as Juliet,
gives this piece instead Of the Shaks-
perian one at the request of Manager
Rock and brings for the production
noble company and an unusually elab-
crate scenic outfit
The first act depicts a hall at Wild
airs. Clorinda's home. In this scene oc-
ours the famous supper room episode
on the night of Clorinda's fifteenth
birthday. There is seen to one side
massive Fireplace that was so common
in the period Of the play, with the tro-
plies of the chase above it. The great
groaning table forms picturesque CEN
ter-piece, in the back is the great stair
case in which Clorinda, at the finish OF
the supper. bursts upon the guests at

exchange for boys clothes.
The second act has been enthusiast
cally praised for its poetic beauty. 1t

decaying sun-dial, and about like
writhing serpents are the trellised roses.
In this scene over 1000 artificial flowers
are used. In the background In the dis
lance is seen the home Of Wildairs, ard
yet nearer in perspective are the green
hedges, which in comparison with the
brilliant pink Of the roses, form
striking and beautiful effect. The light
effect upon this scene is promised to
make it one long to be remembered.
The third and fourth act occur in the
paneled parlor at Dunstanwolde town
house. 1t is light In hue and Of the
renaissance style so much affected IN
Queen Anne's time. This scene is en-
bellished with rich drapery and furni-

Of the fourth act that startling dra-
matte climax, the death of John Oxen,
which critics have said to be as power
full an episode as Sardou ever con-
ceived. AS this will be the reception
parlor of the duchess Of Dunstanwolde,
IL will be one of rare beauty and rich
ness.
The fifth act is a boudouir at wild
airs, which, as the story says, Clorinda
had refitted as a charming parlor, bril- .
liant In tone, as Mrs. Burnett described
t. In the distance Is seen the green
meadows IN which the sweet Sister
Anne finds the doves. which whisper
forgiveness to Clorinda's troubled soul,
and approaching contamination of her
