ANOTHER GREAT TRIUMPH.

Mildred Holland in "The Power Behind
the Throne" Received with an En-
thusiasm Never Surpassed in the
Auditorium.
Her third and greatest triumph in
"The Power Behind the Throne" in
Brattleboro was scored by Mildred
Holland on Monday evening. The
finished presentations on two previous
occasions delighted large audiences,
but on this appearance Miss Holland
and her company aroused enthusiasm
and admiration which has seldom if
ever been equalled in the Auditorium.
The character of the companies under
Mr.. Whites management which had
been rehearsing here the past three
weeks was sufficient Introduction to
arouse a personal interest in this per-
Torrance, and every seat in the house
was sold.
Miss Hollands histrionic capabili-
ties have already received unstinted
praise from The Phoenix. She is
usually praised as an emotional act
ress, and while her forte is undoubt-
eddy in depicting intense feeling yet
in the lighter passages she is ever a
charming personality She puts her
self en- rapport with the audience in
her appearance as the sweet, loving
and confiding girl, Aria, and she holds
the sympathies of all in the trying
scenes which reveal the purity, the
strength and the self-sacrificing nature
of the character. Mildred Holland
has an ennunication and voice that
are rarely perfect, and her power
comes in so fitting into her part that
one never thinks of her as an actress
but always as Aria"
The cast was strong without a
single exception. stronger than on
either of Miss Hollands appearances
here Edwin G. Gallagher, who won
a name as Vinicius in Quo Vadis, was
manly, spirited and dramatic without
extravaganza as Baron Ronald Won
Holenlohe, the high born lover of the
lowly maid. Lillian Norris played to
perfection the part of Baroness Won
Waldheim, the ambitious but unprin-
cipled intriguer "the power behind the
throne" The other characters were
admirably taken, but perhaps Carter
Weaver as Count Won Oberfels won
his way more noticeable than some of
the others.
Applause came at frequent intervals,
and curtain calls were the rule after
each act, but more particularly at the
close of the third act, in the great
denunciation scene in the Duchess
palace Here Miss Holland was pre-
scented with large bouquets and was
compelled to bow her acknowledge
ments again and again, her reception
amounting to genuine ovation.
