FIT The Theatres.


Young Mrs Winthrop" which is being
Company for the benefit OF the coal fund
Of the Citizens Relief Association. is a
play of intense heart interest. 1t affords
the organization every possible scope for
the display Of the art OF its individual
members; it Is well staged. the costumes
worn are exceedingly attractive. and the
production as a whole is not only artistic.
but polished. convincing and wholly de-
lightful.
Considered as a play there can be no
second opinion about Young Mrs. Win
throp- It is cleverly conceived: its ap-
peal is general. in that it deals with the
drifting apart OF young married people
through misunderstanding and neglect.
and there are moments OF splendid force
The piece is full of wholesome sentiment,
delicious comedy and it is never dull:

and dignity. and with a reserve for which

minor roles were also admirably flied.
