at the Academy OF Music on Monday
night deals with Eleanor Hallum, a
famous actress in the time of David
Garrick She is called upon to i'm
personate a beautiful young hciress, in
order to Illustrate the schemes of an
avariciouS old guardian. who seeks to
inveigle his ward into an uncongenial
marriage. While she accepts the mis-
sion ostensibly to accommodate this
young lady, she does 81 really in n
spirit of reckless audacious2ess and
love of adventure, and also in order
to punish the handsome young gallant
who is the intended bridegroom. for
his contemptuous Indifference in refus-
ing to meet her.
As the supposed heiress she is re-
ceived with open arms to the ancest-
raj home. This welcome, however. is
soon turned to CONSERVATION by her
peculiar and eccentric behavior, which
scandalizes the staid old household.
Complications upon complications en-
sue. producing some of the most ex-
cruciatingly funny situations. during
which Miss Davis portrays her as
sumed charac ter in light never
dreampt of by the worthy relatives.
The scenes are in the drawing room
and on the stage of the Drury Lane
Theatre. the drawing room, terrace
and ballroom of an old ancestral
English castle and are of great beauty
while the period affords great pictur-
csuuencss in the coStuming.
Tho production is staged under the
direction of Mr.. Walter Clarke Bel
