and the one that carried Maud Adams
TO fame and SUGGESTS very different
from that given by the Cummings COM
pany in this city short time ago.
And the impression seemed to prevail
that it is much the better of the two.
In Mr.. Barrie's play there is con-
nected thread running throughout the
four acts, and the interest is not al
lowed TO flag. In fact, the attention
OF the audience is increased as the play
unIOldS, until the end of the third act,
when the climax is reached. The
finale of this act is worked up very
skllltulIy and was thoroughly appreci-
ated by the audience.
As comparison was drawn between
Miss Adams and Miss Hall, who played
Lady Babbie for Mr.. Cummings, so
must Miss Hall and Miss Agnes Pal
ner stand the test. Both women are
handsome, Miss Halls beauty being of
the majestic type, while Miss Palmer
Is sweet and winsome. In only two or
three Instances are the parts similar,
the greatest resemblance being found
IN the second act. Miss Palmer
seemed to have the truer conception
OF the authors ideal, and her scenes
with the little minister and her father,
Lord RlntOul, were pleasing.
