Appealing as is "The Adventure OF
Lady Ursula" the play which is to
be produced at the Opera House Satur-
day matinee and night to the lovers of
romantic drama, the discovery that it
has literary finish adds UNNECESSARILY
to it's attraction for those who admire
well written plays. The diction with
out the violation of the cardinal prin-
ciples of dramatic %colloquy which
might be expected in a new play, is
handled with that resourcefulness,
spirit and purity which constitute the
prime charm of Anthony Hopes writ
ing and indicate the practical hand in
stage dialogue. In fact one is most
agreeably surprised to find the work
indicative of stage craft unsupported
in a novelist in dramatic construction.
The story is an admirable one for the
atric illumination. 1t is swiftly told,
and the situations are all effective and
unique.

At the Grand Opera House last night
there was another large audience and
a very satisfactory production was
given by the Van Dyke and Eaton
company of Joseph Jefferson's version
of RIP Van Wrinkle" This famous
drama was presented with all the nee
essary scenic equipment and appro-
pirate costumes. and by an excellent
cast, with Mr.. Van Dyke and Miss
Eaton in the stellar roles. The ap-
plause was very frequent throughout
the evening. RIP Van Wrinkle" will

day, and tonight the company will

If it were possible to first select the
company and then to write the play,
taking into account the individuality
of each member. misfit productions
might not be so frequent. Yet it would
seem that this impossibility was ex-
actly what has been accomplished by
Charles Coghlan in his romantic play,
"The Royal Box" which will open an
engagement of two nights, January II
and IS, and special matinee Thursday,

to say that the company is well bal

Interpretation is polished and has at
tanned a stage of perfection that makes
it unusually meritorious. OF the piece
itself more than a passing word should
be said. 1t has retained a dash of
Dumas, who was the original author,
that has chung to it through the meta
morphosis of adaptation to present pas
sions and impulses, and its situations
not only interest, but excite. Through
its five acts a story of clandestine love
and human intrigue is woven until its
climax becomes ponderous.
