AT THE THEATER

At the Theater yesterday, matinee
and night, was presented ION the
Quiet" a most successful comedy by
Augustus Thomas. The house was
we'll filled at the matinee, but the at
tendance at the night performance was
not near as large as the excellence of
the play merited. This was due, no
doubt, to the fact that the cycle races
attracted many of the regular patrons
of the Theater.
However, those who did not attend
the play missed one of the brightest
will be seen here this season. The dia-
logue is bright and sparkling, and as
the plot unrolls, the complications that
ensure are rich" There is not dull
moment throughout the three acts of
the piece. Thos. w. Ross impersona-
ton of RidgewaY, the Yale student of
financial and social affiuence, was per-
feet, and his acting in the scene where
he is discovered entertaining two music
hall girls took the house by storm.
Ross is surrounded by large and
capable company, and especial mention
is due MIR. Newton Undo, as the Duke
of Carbondale; Miss Lucille Mum, as
Agnew Colt, and Miss Gertrude Dali
ton, as the Duchess of Carbondale, al
though the entire cast of nineteen
members is to be commended for gem
eral excellence. ~
The company carries its own scenic
equipment. and the settings were
much above the average seen here,
and the scene on board Ridegway' S
yacht Corpyhee elected the favorable
comment of the entire audience.
