Fascinating Osra, VINO won the hearts Of
many gallant men. Each conception is
distinct and, If not wholly original its
elements are composed in a novel way Lady
Ursula and her adventures as put upon
the stage make demands upon the imagina-
ton. One cannot accept them in the mat
ter-of-fact spirit in which the modern real
istic play is swallowed. The incongruities
and improbabilities are too strong But,
with the imagination employed and in SYM
pathy with the story, Ursula and her
dOwny little sister. her masterful brother
the boisterous Dent and the stately and
inexorable Sir George become realities, and
the adventures are followed with eager in
terest. The piece is most creditably staged
The period of the play is in the latter part
of the eighteenth century, and a commend
able effort has been made to avoid anach-
roniSmS. Longer time than usual had been
allowed for rehearsing the play and as a
result the performers were letter-perfect in
their lines. Last nights gathering at the
Lafayette was decidedly friendly, and each
time the curtain descended 1t had to be
raised several times in response to the
enthusiastic appeals of the spectators. 1t
seems to be that with every fresh produc-
ton of the Bellows Stock Company the
grow more fitting. Miss Lawrence never
appeared to better advantage than as Lady
Ursula The scenes with Sir George Syl-
vester and In the latter's lodgings in Lon
don were enjoyable a bit Of acting as
has been seen in a long time. Antoinette
Walker is a most attractive aid In giving
VerlSlmllltuQe 10 AntnOny hopes Crea atom.
Although playing a somewhat inconseQuen-
tial role consisting in representing merely
the affectionate younger sister, she gave to
the part such an abundance Of vivacity,
such an exuberance Of vitality as to make
one forget how really unimportant was
the thread Of the plot held by her. Mr.
Whittlesey greatly pleased his friends with
his portrayal Of Sir George Sylvester. What
faults there were seemed to be those Of the
author rather than the player. For in
stance the conversion Of the misogamist
seemed rather too abrupt. Mr.. Charles
Wyngate as the Earl of Hassenden and Mr.
John r. Sullivan as Mr.. Dent gave accepta-
BILE representations Of well-drawn charac-
ters. Frederic Sullivan, Joseph Kaufman
Don B. Orr and Myron Leffingwell were
gay officers in the footguards and assisted
materially in making the third act effective
Mrs. Thomas Barry had the small part Of
Mrs. Fenton, which was given becoming
dignity. Mr.. Harry Hurfurth of this city
appeared as Lord Hassenden's servant.
