and sincerity. and 1t is in making these contrasts that the author deftly touches the human note that gives life and vigor to play of this kind. It was as Mrs. Sterling that Amelia Bingham first won her distinction as star ard disclosed the finished charm and brilliancy of her art. She intrenched herself at once in the good graces of her patrons and fixed her position unchangeably in current stage history.
 A generous need of praise has been ac- corded Mrs. Bingham for the liberal spirit she has shown in her supporting com panies and the mounting of her plays. It is, of course. a matter of commercial sense to give as nearly complete perform ances as the conditions permit, but Miss Bingham goes farther and the commer- cial side of her ventures is dominated by her thorough devotion and adherence to high standards of art. The companies that have aided her In past engagements stand out prominently in retrospect with such names as Wilton Lackey. Robert Edeson, Henry E. Dixey. Frank Worth ing, Henry Woodruff and J. H. Gilmour recurring to memory.
 In her present engagement Miss Bing- ham will maintain the high standard she has fixed in the past. With the work of Charles Richman. Frank Worthing and Samuel Reed added to her own, and these supplemented by a strong subordi- nat cast, the excellence of the perform ances is assured. The women in the cast are said to be especially efficient in pre- sentlng the satirical side of MT. Fitch's play Mrs Goldfinch, Adelyn Wesley, Ivy Troutman, Moselie Tatum Grace Barton and Grace Chester giving distinc- tion to the strong scenes in which their work is shown. Complete scenic produc- tions will be shown and the costumins and pictorial adornment of the plays will be in keeping with Miss Binghams taste and liberality. The sale of seats will begin at the box office tomorrow.
