The Two Orphans.

1.-THE Two Orphans was presented last
night to fair-sized audience at the Jef-
ferson by Miss Kate Claxton and cap
able company.
The play is one that has achieved great
success, due to the fidelity of the piece to
real life. The story is that of a blind
babe left on the steps Of a church by
her mother and found and cared for by a
family, one member Of which is girl a
few years older than the baby. In later
years the two girls are constant COM
panions, and learn to love each other
with a deep affection One day they are
separated. While walking along the
streets the girl who can see is abducted
at the instance of a rich Frenchman. The
two were separated, and there the story
is taken up by the play.
Six acts lead UP to strong scene and
climax in the seventh, when In house,
boat the. two find one another.
The play is exceedingly pathetic. The
blind child is mistreated and abused by
an old woman and her son, who compel
her to sing on the streets and beg. She
has a friend, however, in cripple, who
Is a brother of the man who mistreats
and abuses her. The cripple is unable to
rescue her from those who insist upon
tormenting and abusing the girl. but in
the last scene he gathers his strength
and hurls himself against his brother in
mortal combat to defend her. at the time
she is found by her friend.
In but few plays are kindness and
cruelty, love and hate, SO strongly con-
trasted. cripple tries to protect the
blind and both are abused
Miss Claxton, as Louise the blind
GIRL was fully capable. She has mastered
the part, which calls for peculiar talents.
The work of impersonating blind and
helpless creature In rags is by no means
easy to render in a natural manner. As
Henrietta" the other orphan, Miss
Sarah Madden was strong and met every
requirement. All of the other characters
were well placed and the entire perform
ance is to be highly praised. The manner
In which the play was presented de-
served a much larger house.
