Grattan Donnelly and is his best effort
Here and there us the play progresses
one seems to catch a familiar scrap of
the theme, but as the thought flashes
through the mind new turn is taken
a new and startling climax over
WhcmS one. Familiarity vanishes:
it its place comes refreshing feeling
of pleasure, of admiration Mr.. Don
nelly must certainly be congratulated,
he has handled his subject in a mas
terly manner. He has given us some
thing that is not Theatre merely, but
natural. The lines are crisp. They
are eXquisit. Each has it's turn. In
fictitious humor works its way through
dainty pathos with subtle witchery
that is enhancing. Passion takes the
place that poetry for moment held.
Love holds sway over all. 1t is. a
love that knows no end. 1t is a |
womans love for man, and that |
grander affection of husband and wife,
and brother and sister.
