William White. in the Tribune. saws of
Audrey:
"A fabric remotely and very dimly re-
sembiing play has been made out OF
the novel of Audrey one of the crude
compositions OF Miss Mary Johnston, and
this was set forth last night at the Madi-
son Square Theatre. with Miss Eleanor
Robson in its principal part.
In the novel Which, it is understood.
has been widely read. he heroine Au-
Grey. is slain at the close by@a jealous
and ruthless half-lndian lover nance
iiugon.E who resents her preference tor
the young FWginian, Marmaduke Ha-
Ward. In the play the 1iiGiail lover Stays
himself and Audrey and Harvard are left
in the prospect of immediate cotnubial
bliss.
The play affords slight opportunity for
action. lore than half of its six acts
passes away before anything is done ex-
cept to erdeavor to illustrate by small
talk and scenery the manners and Gus
toms of colonial Virginia. Too many
persons cucumber the scene. and far too
many words cucumber the thin and fee
BILE movement.
Not tin the end OF the church scene
did Miss Robson have any true occasion,
hut there in her cry OF sorrow and in
her repulse OF her Indian sutton, ste
struck true chord of pathos and pas
sion. It is a pity that an actress SO
clever should not have a good vehicle
Tor her talents. In this one most of the
situations are pueri3e. many of the Incl
dents urc trivial, and the language is q
fuA of chatter. Harvard is a sententious
pig; Hugon a spasmodic q bsurdity. Old
Darden has one moment OF dramatic life.
when he breaks up the church service.
bi.t FOR the rest he is impossible. The
rsnddle. in this as in SO many other
cases. comes from the fact that draDat-
lists choose to be filtered by a novel. in
stead of starting from the post OF their
own invention. with many colored life
10, a subject and art for means.
Miss Robson made a distinct and aus
picious personal success. but Audrey
as a play Is worthless.
