Carrie De Mar has always been popular

The MnjestIc-"A Child Shall Lead
Them,

While the opening performance Of the
child actress. Belle jeanette. and COM
pany, IN "A Child Shall Lead Them" at
the Majestic, yesterday afternoon. evoked
applause from the audience. the piece Is
below the standard usually maintained
at this house. The little star AMI her
supporters were reasonably clever in their
work. bur could not save play so poorly
written. Throughout The four acts. and
eight scenes. thrilling events crowd so
closely, one upon another. that the spec
tator has scarcely time to breathe. Not
content with constructing one serious
obstacle in the path Of his heroine. and
bringing her through Il bravely. the
author must needs furnish several for
each scene. until tears are turned to
laughter, and the story becomes a farce.
The work OF little Miss jeanette was
good. though somewhat marred by over
self-possession. She contributed an imita-
ton OF Anna Held singing. II Just can't
make my eyes behave" that was clever.
