is perfect and his appearance is splen-
did, having the double virtue of dignity
and grace. He does not strain at the
strong scenes and seems to reach them
with just the proper amount of feeling
and vigor, without the slightest APP
pearance of rant. Mr.. Kyle is very
much in love with his play and his role
and this probably accounts for the
study and finish which are shown in
his portrayal.
Miss Florence Smyth, who plays the
role of Alice Adams, the sweetheart of
Nathan, and a lovable character in
deed, does it with a beauty and passion
that is delicious. There is a freshness
and a natural girlishness about her
love scenes that is remarkably pretty.
while her stronger scenes, where she is
called upon to depict feelings of the
deepest emotion, she is equally fine
and womanly. The scene between
Nathan and Alice in the last act, just
before his execution, is one of the best
and most effective in the play. 1t is
almost a. pantomifnes Hardly a word is
and the scene is so deftly managed
that it cannot fail to make a deep i'm
preston.
To praise one of the supporting COM
pany without mentioning all would be
an undersigned slight, for it is strong
and we'll balanced throughout, and
there is not a speaking part in the cast
that is not admirably cared for. Miss
Nancy Rice as Angelica, delightful
ingenue role, is capital. Mr.. Charles
Haight plays the opposite role to good
effect. Mr.. Frederick Weber as Fitz-
roy and John Miles as Cunningham
two high class rogues, were both ex-
eellent. Howard Russell, George A. d.
Johnson, Henry L. Barker and Kath-
ryn De Barry were all good and de-
serving of communication.

will be the attraction. Complications
in the plot of a play may prove inter-
esting to some. but the general public
are more easily amused by direct SIM
plicity to engage their attention, spiced
by those necessary condiments, wit"
and ginger" This latter method was
adopted by Mr.. Hoyt when he wrote
"A Day and a Night" The plot re-
