Mrs. Danes Defence" the attraction
at the Academy of Music this week, is
one of those plays of the recent past
whose revival to-day serves another pur-
pose than that OF entertainment. 1t offers
an opportunity for comparison Of tho
strong" drama of decade ago with that
of to-day and also-ard in this case most
strikingly-for a comparison Of mastery
of the dramatists craft. Built up around
a single great scene-that of the inter
rogatory of Mrs. Dane by the father of
the youth who would marry her-Henry
Arthur Joness play does not depend for its
interest upon this one act alone. Indeed,
the deftness of the construction or what
leads I'D to IL, the charms of its ending,
the resourcefulness and deftness OF ,he
whole. furnish an interest OF another and
a most lasting kind. At the same time IL
contains several good acting parts besides
the two chief roles, intrusted I'm the pres
