"HER DOUBLE LIFE"
A Strong Emotional Drama Presented
by Miss Frankenfield and
Her Company.
Her COMPANY


One OF the strongest dramas that
has been presented in this city in a
long time was "Her Double Life,n
by Miss Laura F%rankenteld and COM
pany. The play is dramatized from
the book of "a New Magdalen," by
Wilkie Collins and the story is an
interesting n from the opening to
close. The part of Mercy Merrick,
the girl from the refuge. who by a
circumstance impersonates a lady i'm
the upper life, is an exacting me-.
The part vas presented by Miss
Frankenileld in a splendid manner,
whose conception of the character
bore evidence of excellent histrionic
ability. Miss F%rankenfield has made
a great improvement in her work
over a year ago and we believe she is
destined to appear more strongly in
the limelight of the theatrical world.
In her support st. George Dagelen,
in the character of Julian Grev. a
clergyman, appealed in strong temrs
to the audience and his work re-
ceived the highest possible %apprecia-
ton. His stage presence is COM
manding and his voice is admirably
suited to the part. 1t was a positive
pleasure to hear him read his lines
with such faultless expression.

E~.lutinn .s "a Name.

An amusing account is given Of the
evolution OF a name. A man named
Halfpenny lived in Dublin at the end of
the eighteenth century. Having been
very successful in business. his chill
dren persuaded him to change his name
to a more dignitied m which he did
by dropping the last letter. In the
course Of time the photography was
also changed, and when the nan died
he was buried as Mr.. Halpen. The
fortunes OF the family increased still
further. and the son soon dropped the
"H." The next transition was an equal
~ easy one. and he who had run the
streets as little Kenny Halfpenny came
out as Kenneth MacAlpin. the descend.
