THE SHEAs IN NEW YORK. In a per-
sonal note to the editor of The Journal from
Mrs. George E. Evans, under date of New
York. Feb. 9th, she writes: I'VE witnessed
the new play, "A Soldier OF the Cross last
Wednesday. Mr.. and Mrs. Thos. E. Shea,
with their usual thoughtfulness, reserved
stage box for us which we occupied with
some friends. The play was great sue
cess. IT. is religious drama in four acts.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Shea never acted better.
Mr.. Shea as Ajax acted his part superbly,
and his elocution was of the finest. Mrs.
Shea was Princess Astealia, and gave fine
portrayal of the naughty woman. She look
ed beautiful in her regal robes, and was
every inch a queen. Mr.. Robert Lee was
fine as Prince Rubelins; in fact, the whole
cast was of great excellence. In the last
act the earthquake and the eruption of Mt.
Vesuvius were presented with fine effect.
| The house was crowded and the audience
| very enthusiastic, calling the star and the
nri ncipals before the curtain many times,
until they were tired DO wing their acknOwl-
edgements. It was great treat and one
that will always be in my memory"
