At the Theatres

costume plays still seem to he the order of terday. A Lady of Quality dramatized by Mrs. Hodgson Burnett and Mr. Stephen Townsend from that Indy's book of the same name is to mind a success, though perhaps not entirely an unqualified one.

there are five nets, and the text of the book is closely followed until towards where the duke is made to hear the avowal f the murder from the indy's lips before the marriage instead of after. Miss Eleanor Calhoun is most excellent as Clorinda Wildairs, in fact to her the suc-the is_ entirely due, a5, exception of Mr. Alfred Kendrick who is very good as Sic John Oxen I thought the remainder of the cast very poor. Some new exponent of the Duke of Osmonde's part is sorely needed, for his love-making was about ona pir with Sir Henry Teving's as Romeo.

Text read from the printed page and cleaned; old type leaves the occasional error.
