"a Russian Honeymoon" Difficult as Is
a proper portrayal of the various CHAR
acters and the surrounding of the play
with a Russian atmosphere, 1t was ac-
comn1ished to the satisfaction OF the
large and appreciative audience. AS am
ateurs. all being members of st. Mlcnaeis
Club and its auxiliary, the members OF
the cast distinguished themselves. Eacn
oave entire satisfaction n some dls-
PLAYED marked histrionic ability.

Mr.. william F. King; Poleska, his VIE,
Miss Nora NJ. Sullivan; Baroness Viaol-
mir his sister, Miss Elizabeth v. Rear

| the house of Ivan, the shoemaker, ana

cbatear Woroffski. In the progress OF
ao+ / the ssBridal Chorus from the opera
of .sTbe Rose Maiden was sung by ST.
Nicheline. the shoemaker's daughter, II
| Mics mia c.. Harvey. A thinking song
was clever]y rendered by the St. Michaers
| Club Quartette.
| Mr.. William F. King, though just a
triae stiff. played the part of Alexis
| Petrovitch satisfactorily. He was es-
| necially good after he had thrown aside
| his disguise and appeared as the Count IN
| his own chateau.
Miss Nora NJ. Sullivan, as Po1eska, the
fiery. but beautiful daughter of a RUSSIAN
officer and the wife of the Count, Iuiy
sustained the reputation she has acnleVed
in dihicuIt i-mpersonation OF various
characters in plays produced upon the
same stage. In some instances her acting
was superb.
Miss Elizabeth ". Reardon admirably
nortrayed in looks, voice, gesture ana
manner, the character of Baroness
VIA demir. while Miss Annie E. Breen, OF
4sDolly Dutton'' fame. played the part OF
Nicheline. the shoemaker's daughter, IN
her own ~piouant and dainty style.
Thomas x. Carty's Interpretation of the
character of Ivan, the shoemaker, wa
a niece of art, and Daniel q. Greene's
portrayal of Koulikoff Demetrovitch was
f,Iiv up TO his usually good standard. Mr.
John +. Keane was all right as Osip, tht
young peasant. /.
