AGO AT THE LYCEUM

Gus Doig was the Herald Critic
who covered" the opening of the Russ
win Lyceum twenty-five years ago.
Leading his review Of Diplomacy"
the first play sta ed in this theater.
Mr.. Doig wrote:
After many months of discussion
the Russwin Lyceum theater was
opened to the public last evening. It
is pretty house and a more fashion,
able audience never sat UNDER tho
roof of a New Britain theater than
that Which witnessed the initial per-
Torrance at the Lyceum. Ladies'
fashionably goWned occupied the
boxes with their escorts and in the
auditorium and first balcony were
seated many of the most PROMINENT
people in the town. The performance
was excellent, such as has not been
seen here for many years, and the
characters of the play were indeed in
capable hands"

Mr.. Doig then wrote a careful re-
view of the play. treating each In
dividual phase, and outlining the plot
Isolated sentences show the style.
Rose Coghlan as Countess Zicka was
excellent She possesses rare elocu-
tionary powers and has magnificent
stage presence. She was polished,
even to perfection, last night and ap-
peared to much better advantage than
in Peg Woffington" which was her
last role in New Britain" And thus
goes the review of Diplomacy as it
was rendered here a quarter of a CEN
fury ago.

duce the play next week exactly as it

Ell our men in arms, which will help them
to realize very practically and with GER
