Dramatic School gave a performance OF Suder-
mann's drama, Die Ehre' CHonor) at the Crt-

a Sudermann play put on, creditable produc-

brought forward. On the previous occasion Miss
Mary Lawton, as Marie in The Fires of st. John"
astonished the audience by her emotional powers
Yesterday a youth named A. T. Peltter. as the
Count Trast. displayed fine feeling for char
scterization and a strong command OF comedy.
