THE MOREANS IN TIE CHARITY
BALL.
Portland has always shown exception
al interest IN the Moreans. and this cley
er dramatic club is demonstrating Its
worth in most satisfactory degres
Steadily working its way from curtain
raisers, little farcss and rough and tum-
bic comedy and horse play the Moresns
emerged from Its empriotic state into
iull tedged dramatic organization by
assuming with marked credit the diili-
nul; task OF presenting high class come
dy drama, "The Charity Ball" at West
brook, in January last. The forthoom-
ing engagement of the MoreRns at the
Jefferson theatre in David Belasco's great
play on Monday and Tuesday, February
20 aud 26, is but the legitimate outcome
of their splendid effort on that occasion.
VANITY FAIR.
Speaking of Miss Gertrude Coghlan
who will appear IS Becky Sharp, 'at the
jefferson this week, the New Haven Pal
lsdium, says;
"It would seem somewhat daring
venture TOR young woman of Miss Ger
trude Coghlan's years TO follow so closely
in Mrs Fiske's footsteps as to appsar on
the stage as Becky ShaSp. simultaneously
with the renowned adsress In the came
role. Those who saw Mrs. Fisks few
months since. were curious and eager to
see how the younger woman would treat
the same character. Her audience, there
fore, was a somewhat critical one, but yet
Miss Coghlan's fame had preceded her
and New Haven theatre-goerS we're not
wholly unprepared for the success OF last
nights performance. Certainly the tai
ented young actress. who, by the way,
is the daughter of the late Charles Cogh.
Ian, made decidedly favorabls impression
last night. She is young woman OF
charming personality and shows undis-
putsd talent Her performance here was
most creditable and her Becky Sha rp
suffers nothing in comparison with that
OF her famous rival This dramatization
of Thackeray's immortal novel, Ipromises
to be as popular and widely talked OF as
the book itself, while Miss Coghlau' s
treatment of the wonderful Becky Is a
character study which is not often ex-
oeIled. Her support too, is an excellent
one and the whole cast has been carefully
selected with due consideration as to Mt
ness of things, while attention has been
given to every small detail as to make
Miss Coghlan's production OF Vanity
Fair an exceptionally good one.
