"cousln Kate"

Miss Roselle Knott gave a most finished
and artistic portrayal of Cousin Kate in
the play of that name last night at the
Jefferson theater 1t was a refreshing bit
of comedy drama, Astounding In express
sions and action true to human nature
In the hands of any but an accomplish

fall fiat, perhaps, but Miss Knot had all
the necessary qualities at her command
and she used them with great ability.
William Corbett as Heath Desmond, is
not fine looking fellow as one usually
expects the hero of play to be, but he
has an engaging manner and makes fine
lover. His part is not easy to play. 1t is
a part in which small things count, and
he seemed to appreciate that fact, and to
bring out each small bit of acting with
good effect.
