PROVIDENCE OPERA HOUSE

IL was large and most appreciative
audience that last night greeted James
ONeill at the opening performance OF
his present brief engagement at the Prov
idence opera House, in "Virgnius" last
night. Mr.. ONeill IS one of those actors
whose hold on the public is continuous
and unbroken. There Is good reason for
that condition, as he is able, painstak-
ing and always honest in his work.
Mr.. O'Neill has been admired here be-
fore as Nirginius. II is a vigorous play
and yet one where the chief interest CEN
tres around the principal character
though IL has as its foundation the honor
of "A woman. II is fine picture of disso-

who like something more in a theatrical

pecially strong i'm the famous scene
wherein Virginius I'm order to save his
daughter from a worse fate stabs her.
In a part that some OF the greatest

fame
There arc OF course plays, some o.
them good more popular than this old
timer. but few really delight as much
those who enjoy them as "Virginius"
does its admirers. Mr.. O'Nell, there
fore, In presenting the play again TO
Providence audience has done our thea
tregoers a special favor.
This play is so much dependent on the
work of the principal and name charac-
ter that the remainder OF the cast do not
rise to special Importance save I'm one or
two instances. Especially sympathetic
and interesting was Miss Alice Flemings
in the part of Virginia. She made the
audience feel the deeper sense OF the
words with which the piece abounds.

OF Ircilius. is an actor Of intelligence and
finish His work last evening was of
high order and won pleasant recognition,
The other members of the cast were

OF course. as above stated, the play re-
wolves around the chief character. Splen-
didly does Mr.. O'Neill portray every de-
tail OF It, His diction. his force and at
times his splendid restraint. and his fine
gestures make him one of the few men

and valuable instruction by seeing them
