popular prices. The performance was un-
usually interesting on several accounts,
chief OF which was the pleasant recollec-
tfons evoked by the display of some of the
magnificent scenery and settings employed
in~the production OF the same play at the
Grand Opera House early in the present
season Another feature OF yesterday after
Moons performance which must have
called up vivid memories 10 '~irst-nighters'
at the Grand was the unfamiiiarity with
the lines which marked the work of almost
every member of the company. To regu-
lar patrons OF the Park il was an unusual
thing for actors not 10 be up In their
parts and the idea seemed TO strike them
as ncommonly funny. John r. Cumpson,
mno pIayed LORD Drelincourt. was the
worst ofender in this respect, and his halt
ings grew so frequent and 40 glaringly ap-
parent that before the piece had reached
It's middle stage he had his audience con-
Nulsed With merriment.
The most talented member of the organi-
zanon Is Miss Bernice Howard Jossey. who
Dandles the ingenue role of Agnes Ralston.
MISS Jossey would. however. appear to bet
ter advantage IL she should choose a wig
more In harmony with her complexion and
peculiar facial appearance. edna Earle
Lindon, who is the Mrs. Ralston of the
play, Is a woman of spleLdid proportions
and some beauty of face. but her style of
acting can scarcely be commended as one
worthy of imitation. w. j. Jossey, the head
OF the cast, is disappointing in the char
acter or James Ralston, Jim the
which seems not at all adapted to his abil-
ity. Wilson Day made a good impression
as Louis Percival. So also did l.. O.. Hart
as the Baron Hartfeldt. James ]. Wells
was clever and vivacious in the role of
Jack Ralston. The hit of the piece was
scored by Barry O'Neill as Captain Red
wood, the phlegmatic detective who was
always going TO sleep in places excellently
chosen for picking UP" professional points.
The minor roles were we'll handled Alto
gether the play was given a pleasing pre-
sentation, and after the lines become ia
miliar To the players the result will I'M
doubtedly be highly satisfactory.

the bill to-day and tomorrow, with matt

company will produce Northern Lights"
