AT THE THEATER

A very sympathetic audience wit
messed the production last night Of
Audrey" The theater was we'll filled.
and the audience was most generous
of applause. although IL is doubtful If
it was so much the merit of the play
as the popularity of the book that in
duced the enthusiasm. To a critical
judgment there was something lacking
of unity and sequence in the construc-
ton of the play that might have made
it scarcely ineligible to one unfamiliar
with the story, and much that was in
ferior in its Interpretation.
The charaster of Audrey herself as
drawn by the novelist. is OF a type so
little known that even in the book she
seems, except to those partial spirits
that comprehend her, more like a
pretty figment of the ina gination than
flesh and blood woman, and it can
not be said that Miss Eleanor Robson
made her wholly convincing. Art she
showed, and grace. and even at times
power, and her impersonation of the
dreamer and child OF nature undoubt-
eddy appealed to the audience. There
were many tears shed for Audrey's
sorrows
Miss Selene Johnson as Evelyn Byrd,
in part that gave opportunity for
much clever acting. was most disap-
pointing. 1t could have been a charm
ing role. Nor was Harvard, imperson-
ated by Forrest Robinson, very much
of lover. Frederick Perry as Jean
Hugon, the half-breed Indian, was
good-it might be thought the best in
the cast.
Darden, the tipping preacher and
Audrey's protector. was very well done
by George Woodward, and Ada Dwyer
as his wife, was almost equally good.
In fact, ii was quite noticeable that
the minor roles were better filled than
the chief ones, Anne Caverly as the
voluable Mrs. Stage, being appallingly
true to life.
The scene in Bruton Church, where
Audrey is denounced from the pulpit,
was odd and effective, though il must
be confessed that the preacher was
somewhat longwinded, and unless one
had read the book it'would have been
difficult to trace the connection be-
tween this act, the one that preceded
1t, and the one that followed.

Tonight Hermann will be seen in
his acts of prestidigitation and mys-

entertainment which attracts every
body. From the first appearance he
is thoroughly en- rapport with his
audience, and everybody feels at home
with him. Ills entertainment con-
sists mostly of legerdemain, and his
dexterity in sleight of hand has earned
him a fame never before accorded any
prestidigitator who has toured this
country. This season he has many
new tricks in this class. which will
give him an opportunity to still more
completely astonish, If such a thing is
possible. His two sensational illusions
are called THE Princess Mahomeda,"

Simultaneous" In THE Princess Ma
homeda," the princess is a young lady

around her several times to dissolve

otherwise, and then slowly descends to
