~THE PLAYS

It is doubtful if more merltorious pro- duction has been seen at O'Brien's opera house this season than '.The Adventures of Lady Ursula," as presented yesterday by William Morris and his splendid company at matinee and again last night.
 The play is an adaptation of Anthony Hopes novel of the same name, and should rank among the best dramas of the day. The story is a pretty one with strong, clear fcut lines and just enough comedy injected to make it interesting. In less capable hands the play might drag, but with Mir. Morris as Sir George Sylvester, the hero, and Miss Frances Drake, as Lady Ursula Harrington, around whom the entire story revolves, it is delightful. MT. Morris's stage presence is commanding, his voice strong and his interpretation almost per- feet Miss Drake's Lady Ursula could not have been improved upon. The part is a most difficult one, yet she interpreted it with an ease that left little doubt of her ability as an actress. She is pretty, grace ful, vivacious, and above all artistic. and shared the applause of both audiences.
 The entire cast is good, and the scenery and properties in keeping with the high class presentation.

The Christian

"The Christian" as a play, differs from the novel, and is not altogether the same in its characters or motives. For dramtic purposes and for other reasons Mir Cadne made departures from the novel in con- structing the play, yet the readers of the story will readily recognize the charac- ters whose acquaintance they made during its perusal. In tine book John Sorm's re- Dgious fevor borders on fanaticism, but in the play this character has been relieved of this sombreness,. and is pictured as a noble-hearted, self-sacrificing, manly per- sonalty. AS Glory Quayle, Miss Fife Els Ter is said to present the heroine of MT. Gaines story drawn on the original lines of the novel-a vivacious and frivolous girl in the prologue, and woman of serious and ambitious purpose in the four acts of the play.
 ''The Christian will be the opening at traction at the Jefferson theat1r, appear ing Wednesday, March 2. Seats will be placed on sale Monday morning, March 5. This sale will take place at O'Briens opera house.

Miss Kir' win is at her best in comic opera.
 This opera, with its Turkish trousers, oriental color, pleasing music, absurd fun and the harem scene, in which the girls are bewilderingly gowued in fantastic garb. the stirring marches, interpolaaed songs and the polite vaudeville Is what pleases the people.

Clarke, Harold Gordon, Charles IA. Fuller, Emmet Drew, George Mussy and the Misses Bax- ter and Roberts, as well as the well trained chorus, will provide an entertainment of a high order.

Give a Brilliant Dance

The dancing party given last evening by Mrs Everett T. Sehuler was beautiful and brilliant It was the last private dance of the season. and was enjoyed to the fullest extent by the gay assembly, who realized that the dawn of Ash Wednesday was fast approaching. The dance was in honor of Mrs. Truman Herbert Aldrich, Jr., and Miss Woods, of Virginia. The decorations of tho handsome house were the most elab- crate of the winter. It is one of the most perfectly arranged houses in town, and for the dance it presented an unusally pie turesque and beautiful scene. The receD- ton hall was a wealth of tropical palms and southern smlax. A series of bamboo arches along the hall made a tropical bow CT under which the beautiful gowned as- sembly passed The balustrade of the stair way beyond was a mass of smilax, and in the apartments on either side and be- yond flowers and palms were used in pro- fusion.
 In the dining room where supper was served, the floral decorations were of pink carnations and roses. The table was beau- tified by pyramid bows of green satin rib bon and dozens of pink roses formed the center piece Punch was served in anothep apartment and the long drawing rooms were used for dancing. The music was de- lightful. The dance programmes were ex- quisite water colors representing wild roses.

Tie efficiency of the Vermont
game laws is unquestioned and it is
the duty Of every sportsman to see
that they are enforced Only a short
time ago it was an extremely rare
0ccurance to see deer in Vermont.
Today the forests abound in them.
This is largely due to the Stringency
with which the deer seasons have
been observed. 1t is impossible for
game .wardens to detect every indi-
vidual oflense when depending on
their own resources alone, but if the
sportsman fraternity in general will
take it up themselves to continue
their assistance to the minions of the
law, as we'll ia the future as in the
past, then Vermont will continue to
improve as a mecca for native low
