In "Julls u var.

Mr. Hall Caine and his family occupied
a box at the Victoria Theatre on Monday
night. The distinguished Manxman. who.
as he grows older. looks less and less like
Shakespeare, sat well concealed from

At the fall Of each curtain Mr. Game would

box, shortly to return in moody silence.

ment when in response To the plaudts Of a
frantic multitude the dramatist would
make his way trernblingly to the foot

the fourth act Mr.. Caine found the hour
ripe and soon was blandly addressing the
audience. II was neat, wel-ba lanced
little speech that he had prepared, and it
was delivered with easy address and elocu-
tionary tact. He praised Miss Allen and
the company. a. well he might. and he said
very little about Hall Game which was a
surprise. Considering the mental anguish
endured by the playwright, ever since his
arrival in America Mr.. Gaines allusion to
Miss Allen was magnanimous. for, as 1t is
we'll known she held obstinately to the
present version Of Donna Romd's actions
and this Mr.. Caine does not like. But

discoveries Alaska has ever known.
