NOTES FROM STAGELAND.

THE Sporting Duchess" continues TO
attract large and enthusiastic crowds at
Keith's, and everyone agrees that II sur
passes every other stock production given
In this city. The exciting race scene OF
the last act IL depicted with a snap and
smoothness that Is little short OF marvel
Gus and must be seen 10 be half ap-
preciated. One Of the bright features OF
the production IL the powerful impersona-
ton given by Miss Rivers, as Lady
Desborough. The role is one calling for
the exploitation of womanly pride.
motherly tenderness and outraged
womanhood. and Miss Rivers gives a
portrayal replete with that convincing
quality which is so admirable I'm her work
and which makes itself felt by the au-
dience. In the court room scene, when
she Is separated from her boy, her
poignant grief finds an answering chord
OF sympathy I'm every breast and there "a

Another bright feature OF this weeks

The ability 10 every week. without ex-
