The work of the players was excellent,
and met only the heartiest appreciation
of the large audience that was in attend
ance.
The play is a good one, even for Sidney
Grundy, its characters offer number of
strong contrasts, ii is bright and epigram-
matte, and is filled with dramatic situa-
tons that we're made the most of. The
players all showed careful preparation, and
there were none of the disagreeable waits
that usually characterize amateur per
formances.
The play has been seen here before and
the plot is familiar. Sir Peter Lund was
probably the best of The male characters,
while among the ladies Miss HeXter was
undoubtedly the most popular, though the
other ladies also did excellent work, but
had less attractive parts, and both Miss
Selig's and Miss Robinsoh's work was in
every respect admirable Mr. Herbert
Kayton gave an excellent impersonation
of the trusting husband, and Mr. j. M
Black made an aristocratic and interesting
lover. Mr.. Lee Roy Lovenstein and Miss
Robinson did some very clever comedy
work and Messrs. Neuberger and Solo
mon were very acceptable ~ IN Rersona-

second act the audience insisted on a cur
tain call and a number of handsome floral
designs were given 10 the players
Much of the success of the play is due to
the able management of the STAFF com

Like al of its kind. ii tells an intense
story. IT has been cleverly conceived and
well written. The author has been par
ticulariy fortunate in his comedy scenes
and has furnished some particularly
bright lines to those who are entrusted
with the task of relieving tension of
wrought-up nerves and emotions Of the
audience. 1t is in its scenery that the
strength of the play is discovered, how
ever. The author, who is unquestionab'y
clever at devising strong scenic surprises,
is said to have surpassed himself in his
latest efforts
