down from the Astor theatre a week ago,
The Western company presented the
first act; the Eastern company gave the
second and the regular New York company
played the third and fourth acts. As only
four characters appear In the third act
It was necessary for only two per-
formers, Lillian Albertson and Ben johnson
Of the regular company. to appear In moro
than one act,
There was some fear at first that the
audience would have some difficulty in
following the characters presented by q
1ifferent player after each curtain, but
so closely did the conception OF each part
follow that in the original company that
only few In the audience were confused,
Some OF the actors playing important
parts were only on the stage for ten min
