"a sweet little play" is what the mat
inee girls will call Mr.. Charles Cogh-
lan's comedy drama 1.-THE Royal Box"
which will be produced at the Opera
House next Wednesday and Thursday.
Perhaps this sums up as well as any
phrase that might be selected, the char
acter of the piece for it tells daintily,
and with considerable theatrical effect
a pretty love story. There Is no at
tempt at heroics, no effort for dramatic
effect. 1t is a plain little story which is
fascinating in itself, developed quite
naturally and effectively, and culmin-
ating quietly but POLITICALLY. "The
Royal Box is a piece somewhat akin
to David Garrick," inasmuch as the
central character in each is an actor.
The play is in five short acts, none of
which drag or grow monotonous. Mr..
Andrew Robson, as Clarence, the actor,
gives a finished performance. Celia
Bryce, as played by Miss Coghlan, is
acted with Judgment and grace.

country. The Adventure OF Lady
Ursula" is a romantic comedy
in four acts, with the Anthony
Hope spirit prevailing each line. 1t is
wonderfully strong and delightful in its
humor. Mr.. Morris does not lose his
identity in the role of Sir George Syl-
vester. The same style and finish that
is characteristic of all his impersona-
tons is manifest in this, and he tenn
pers it nicely and makes the role an
ideal one. The supporting company Is
a capable one, and the costumes and
scenic investiture historically correct.
1.-THE Adventure of Lady Ursula" will
be presented at the Opera House this
afternoon and evening.
