Al The GARRICK IN LONDON.
Copyright; 1900: BY New-York Tribune.l
IBT CABLE TRIBUNE.J
London, Sept. %. 1 a. m-Barrie's new play
The Wedding Guest" has been witnessed by
large and sympathetic audience at the Garrick
Theatre. 1t is a Scotch play rivalling The
Little Minister in local color human interest
and refinement OF humor, but is more elaborate
IN construction more complex in motive and
more ambitious in scope. There are nearly fifty
characters in the piece. and the stage manage
ment has fully employed the energies of Arthur
Bourchier and Boucicault. The play opens
with bright and charming act, with a wedding
scene at the end witnessed by the bridegrooms
former mistress. The second act is grim and
sad, but intensely dramatic ending with the
brides return to her fathers home after the
bridegroom has confessed the truth. There are
CLEANS of brightness in the closing scenes, but
the general effect of the play is sOmbre and
tragic. The characters of the bride and bride
groom are taken by H. B. Irving and Dorothea
Baird and played with great earnestness, and
Violet Vanbrugh makes profound impression
as Kate Ommaney, the discarded mistress. Bran
don Thomas also is most effective as the brides
Scotch father. The first night audience has set
its approval upon the play one of the strong
est dramas produced on the London stage for a
long period. [. n. F.
