There were mo. waits nor any uneven
ness to lessen the attractiveness Of the
Giffen production OF 'He1d by the Eene-
my at the Academy Of Music last night.
It was by far the most perfect, and. at
the same time, the most pleasant per-
Torrance seen in Richmond for some
years, out or inside the regular season.
The play Is good. and the company never
appeared to better advantag e. The pre-
sentation was given the approval of a
large audience and, that the patronage
this week will exceed any former. is
assured.
Much curiosity was expressed at the
appearance Of Mr.. Ryder in the leading
role. that of Colonel Prescott, a Northern
officer. He made a most favorable i'm
preston, and at once engaged the SYM
pathy of the audience. He is handsome,
fine actor and his voice is robust, be-
Ing evenly tempered to the role he as
sumed.
Miss Scott, without doubt, made the
hit of the company, as Susan McCreery.
She was most fascinating.
Mr.. Bennett, as "Ntr. Bean" was man
~ and admirable.
Mr. Chagnon and Mr. King also play
ed prominent roles, and in them were
excellent.
Miss Ellington was asplendidly cast as
Rachel McCreery, and Miss La Verne,
as maidenly aunt Miss La Verne
somewhat marred her impersonation by
failure in attempting to speak in the
mellow tones of a Southern woman. Her
natural voice is much better. The other
members of the company. as usual, were
clever.
The scenic establishment Of the paly
is Mr.. Citizens best It is superb.
The performance is short, the curtain
dropping on the last act at II o'clock.
The Wells Dramatic Company has been
seen and is not found wanting, certain
~ in dramatic worth. In that sentence
is voiced the verdict of the audience that
filled the Casino last night, and it will
be approved later on by the audiences
that are sure to gather during the week.
The company came announced as a capa-
BILE one and such it is
In 1.-THE Lost Paradise, problem play

had a severe test of its dramatic mettie'
but it was not too severe
Miss Converse, the leading woman, can
be accepted as a capable actress, one
whose emotions and temperments are well
defined and she will grow to be fa9or-
lite. Mr.. George, in the leading male
role. was fine and he read his lines WIFI
a professional smoothness lie does not
overdo his acting and is the ideal labor
ing man elevated by his thrift. Mr..
Blakemore and Miss Lamont, however,
received the appreciation of the audlen &c
