Esther Evans Is
Star Of Splendid
Play at Academy

Miss Esther Evans, as the Butter
fly by her splendid portrayal or her
part and by an exhibition Of emottpnaI
acting which brought deserved APP
tilnuse from. d large audiences. and
supported by good company, made
an old theme new and enhanced the
value of an exceilently written and
we'll staged performance OF "A But
terfsy ON the Wheel" at the Academy
last night.
Perciyal Aylmer, as Lord Ellerdine,
friend Of husband and wife and well
meaning. albeit little absent minded.
injected the comic element in to the
performance with first-ciass acting
and an excellent dry wit which fire.
uuently relieved tenseness of the sit
uations and occasional threatened
monotony. John Davidson, as Rod
erick Coilingswood, was a little stiff
and rather studied in his love-makinE.
but portrayed the part of an earnest
lover, not over serupuloue. perhaps,
but above many acts to which his
companion in conspiracy was willing
TO stocp. and honest in his intentions.
L. Broughton, as the leading counsel
for the prosecution. gave good sup
port TO the truly wonderful acting OF
Miss Evans in the great court scene;
Cecil Butler as the husband and Miss
Diana Storm as Lady Atwill. Colling-
woods co-conspirator made the best
OF their parts. The company as a
whole is d good one, we'll supporting
the star. Il
The story is that OF young wife,
indiscreet. but innocent. who Is
caught. in a web of circumstantial
evidence and forced to defend suit
tor divorce. 1t is In the court scene
that the ability OF Miss Evans as
an emotional actress Ia put to the
severest test out OF which she emrges
