william Winter In Tribune.


William Winter, the dean Of the Amer.
lean critics say:
a fabric remotely and very din1y re.
sembing play has been made out Of the
novel of Audrey" one OF the crude com.
positions of Miss Mary Johnston. and this
was set forth last hight ct the Madison
Square Theatre, with Miss Eleanor Rob.
son In its principal part. In the novel
which. It is understood has been widely
read, the heroine, Audrey. is slain at the
close. by jealous and ruthless half-In-
dian lover, named Hugon. who resents heI
preference for the young Virginian. Mar
'naduKe Harvard. In the play the Indian
lover Stays himself. and Audrey and
Harvard arc left in the prospect of i'm
mediate connubiai bliss.
The relations OF the chief persons In
this tale are such as have been used in
fiction from time im,naterial," but they
now recur under slightly novel circum-
stances the circumstances would, per-
haps. seem more novel. If Cooper's Laath-
restocking stories had never been read
and this presentInent Of them occasion
ally serves a practical purpose for Miss
Eleanor Robson, who invested the ideal
Of the forest waif with piquant beauty
and expressed her emotions in a strain
of melodious fluency and demcanor OF
alternate calm and fire
She has a sngularly sweet voice; a
manner that is sometimes contid!Dg and
sometimes -mpetuous: her personality Is
exceptionally interesting: and. though
deficient in power. she is uncommoniy
fcl!citous in the denotament Of possion-
ate feeling. The play affords her slight
opportunity for action. More than half
of its six acts passes away before any
thing Is done. except to cndeaTor TO IL
lustrate by small talk and scenery, the
manners and customs Of Colonial VIZ
GINA. Too many persons cucumber the
scene ard far too many words cucumber
the thin and feeble movement. Not till
the end of the church scene cid MISS
Robson have any true occasion. but there
in her cry of sorrow auG IN her Tepulse
of her Indian suitor-she struck true
chord Of pathos and passion. 1t is pity
that an actress so clever should not have
a good vehicle for her talents. In this
one most of the situations are puerile.
many of the incidents are trivial, and the
language is fiux Of chatter. Harvard is
a senteniious pric: Huson a spasmod:c
absurdity Old Darden has one moment
of dramatic life. when he breaks up the
church service. but for the rest, he is
impossible. The middle, In this as III
SO many other cases. comes from the
fact that dramatists choose to be fettered
