THE DRAM A

Fifth.Avenue Theater__§aretogn
rive performancee of hr. Bronson O. Howard'e ”Saratogn" have been
given at the Fifth-Avenue Theater. end the new piece hee peeeed into
generel acceptance ee e lively and pleasing epecinen of elaborate farce.
On the morning after ite firet representation we recorded the eucceeetaf
the play. and briefly epecified eone of ite characterietice. That Judg-
ment, fevereble to the piece in the first inetonce. hee been etrengthened
by e eeccnd view of ite action. ”Serotogn', indeed, cannot be eccepted
ee e comedy. It ie not true to himan nature in ite dolineetione of char-
ecter and conduct, and it ie only partially true to actual life in it!
delineatione of manner. But, taken for what it pretende to be. it ie e
bright and epeekling piece of dramatic compoeition. The mechaniem of
it hoe the merit of eimylicity. Each of ite five ecte ie e eingle ecene.
Twenty-two pereone ere introduced, exclusive of auxiliariee. end theee
ere handled in e eufficiently skillful manner, throughout the develop-
ment of e comical etory. The action commencee in 'Centrel Park! and con-
tinuee end culminatee et SeretOgn. The etory reletee to e flirtation '
of e young flew-York been, who paid hie eddreeeee to four ladiee at once.
end who had the comic miefortune to meet them ell simultaneously at the
femoue watering place. Three note of the piece are devoted to putting
hhn into thie dilemma. end two ncte Ge gettinglhin.out of it. The
machinery of hie deliverenoe ie e triangular duel. which ie ewamped and
prevented hy funny ecceeeoriee. The reader will perceive that theee
materiele ere neither novel nor eubetentiel. It ie their treatment which.
telle end thie peculiarly edroit and emueing. Conic eituetione follow
each other in cleee eucceeeion throughout the farce, end ere enhelliehed
with fine ecenery end epiced with lively banter and witty comment. In
ehort, Hr. Howerd’e piece hne been oompoeed in n perfectly precticel
epiritg He hee diecerned the exietence of e certain order of teeter

produced, in another act, and two interiors, neatly and tastefully ar-
ranged, do more than Justice to the hotel splendors of the summer re-
treat. The chief character is presented by Er. Lewis, who is always
efficient and pleasing, in farce parts, and whose Egb'Sackett is radiant
with comic vim, The part seems to have been designed for a light com»
edian: but as the very soul of it is comic extravagance, its fortune__
in devolving an an eccentric comedian__is, perhaps, all the happier.

ant, and Miss Linda Diets. The society frequenter of Saratoge. Other
characters are embodied by other players, as will be seen in the cast
below; and it is but simple Justice to say that a more efficient, grace-
ful, and spirited representation could not be desired or expected, for
any piece of this kind, than is given to 'Saratoga' at the Fifth Avenue
Theater. The play has been seen by throungs of peeple, who have enhoyed
its fun, undsttered, we presume, by any thought of its inadequacy, as

a picture of American manners. The age loves recreation, and in pieces
of this sort it finds what it loves. The following is the complete

AEfUSi‘fEEJ’T‘S
nmmtn AT TU“ PE‘TEQ-AVZIME THEATRE

"ART, properly so called, is no recreation: it cannot be learned
at spare moments, nor pursued when we have nothing better to do. It
is no handiwork for drawing-room tables; no relief of the ennui ofboup
doirsx it must be understood and.undertaken seriously or not at all.
To advance it men's lives must be given; and to receive it, their hearts.”
Kr. Ruskin will be accepted as authority in art, if not in political econ-
omy. The theatre combines many arts, and these earnest words of the
author of Hodern Painters apply with force to a these we are about to
discuss. A new play was noted, on Tuesday, at the Fifth-Avenue Theatre,
called "Diamonds“. It is the work of a young Journalist who has the
honorable ambition of wishing to distinguish himself in dramatic lit-
erature. It is the second piece seen here from the same hand, and it
ie one of the series offered at the Fifth-Avenue Theatre purporting to
reflect certain phases of the best American society. As it is also the
worst of that series, it may be thought well to dismiss ”Diamonds” with
as few words as possible. is do not takw that view, for reasons we
hope to make clear. The opportunity seems to us a favorable onelbr dis-
tinctly setting forth what to educated and intelligent people should be
obvious; but what owing to certain accidents. is less generally recog-
nised than it should be. host of those who have studied the subject
think it would be a wholesome thing to establish a good school of nation.
al comedy - a faithful portraiture, with the Just seasoning of satire,
of our social life. It is commonly thought, too, that the time has come
when it is possible for such a thing to be ushered into existence. In»
deed, it is to such a perception and belief that such dramas as those
of which I'IJialmz-nds" is one, chiefly owe their being. Now, the grand
and common fault of the whole series__and not to be mistaken, ”Divorce”,
”Surf", "Saratoga' and “Ddsmonds‘ are all included in it__is that the
most salient and distinctive social pictures they present are radically
false and distorted. They are not what they pretend to be and so do
harm; they have been placed on the stage with singular pains and lib-
erality by the manager, and so have done more harm: since, through this
means, they have gained longevity and fame that otherwise would certain.
ly have been denied them.

in all of these plays a throng of people appear when we are care-
fully instructed to accept as types of the best bred and best born Amer-
ican men and women. Yet in all of them, the men, with few exceptions,
are simply types of dandy shopmen or flash 'sports', and the women of
overdressed milliners o or something worse. We mean to say, with the
qualification of the women, as a rule, are more obnoxious to this stric-
ture than the men, that the characters are made to behave, look, and
talk like what we describe. The matter is easily tested in many ways.
For example, each of the pieces, “Diamonds“ and all, offers several young
women as representatives of educated American girls, brought up among
refined associations; girls, to be precise, who have been used all their
lives to everything that culture and wealth can supply. Now, let Mr.
Daly, or any one else who is interested, persuade some competent Judge__
a lady of social position, or the principal of one of our best young

18b

ladies' schools__and ask that Judge how much like a decently trained
American girl the extraordinary figures he offers as such really are.
The issue seems almost too preposterous to be raised at all; but when
we find thousands of people crowding a theatre for months to see this
kind of thing, and to some extent assenting to its fidelity, it becomes
our duty to meet the issue squarely, and pursue it to a definite con-
clusion. We admit that there are such people in the United States as
are seen in these plays___pnhappily there are too many of them“__but
they are not found in the circles they are represented as frequenting,
still less do they make up the substantial constituents of the circles
themselves, and, consequently, to present them in such a light is false
in art, a social hurt and blemish, and the ignorance such a proceeding
implies is of itself a distinct qualification for the work the authors
of these plays undertake to perform. The misrepresentation, we are to
remember, it unconscious and in good faith. The drawing of these par-
ticular figures is not an attempt at satire that stumbles upon carica-
ture. The attempt is to be true to nature, and the failure arises frwl
imperfect knowledge of that which is to be copied. In “Diamonds“ there
is a ludicrous illustration of the same kind of false drawing arising
from the same cause. A scene occurs in a club, the identity of which

is infsrable from.the fact that the artist sought and got leave to copy
a certain actual and well-known interior. In this scene a party of
gentlemen, supposed to be rich and well informed‘_yhat are styled the
leading men, in a word, of the metropolis_;aseemble for social inter-
course. They proceed to delineate a scene which is nearly the exact
counterpart of what goes on nightly at the famous London “Coal-hole.“
There is a "Judge and Jury", that is to say, a.mock trial, many coarse
Jokes, and the like. During its progress the various persons of the ac-
tion are continually swilling liquor, and the scene is finally interrupted
and ended by a disgusting reproduction of the risk and Stokes assination-
affair__a man being shot for a supposed intrigue with a woman, and tum-
bling backward down-stairs. Of course, the latter is a conceivable, if
in such a place, an improbable incident; but the former absurd mammary,
in the place assigned, is out of the question. There is no argument
here, or in the case of the female characters, about the privilege of
heightening effect, dramatic license, and so on. there such privilege
is allowed, it is with the understanding that the original subject-
matter is rightly seen and comprehended by the artist: the blunder in
this case springing from the fact that the artist is therein totally at
fault s

it is not worth while to recite the plot of "Diamonds". Like most
of the talk it consists of a re-hash of what has pleased the author in
others; and when not directly offensive is generally feeble and pointless.
A young husband suspects his wife of having gone wrong, and finds out in
the end he is mistaken. A number of young ladies, in many and ineffably
gorgeous clothes, stroll in and out, and giggle and pout, and chatter
like so many animated chamber-maids. A lot of young men, mostly in.yel-
low wigs, and with a strong propensity to put themselves in full dress
on insufficient provocation, bleet peneively after the young ladies, and
"spoon” with them whenever they get a chance. The hero and heroine are
less objectionable than their companions, and consequently, it would seem,

notwithstanding; a favorable impression. It is Just to say, however in-

striking then harmonious. At the end of her only effective scene~__thnt

The production of a successful Americen play at this theatre is an
event in which every native dramatist is directly interested: for such
a success must be regarded as a notable encouragement to dramatic art
in this country, besides being one of the undoubted signs of the time.
We ere, in consequence, unusually happy to chronicle the emphatic suc-
cess of Hr. Bronson Howard's new play, "The Banker's Daughter,“ which
was represented for the first time last evening and received with the
most striking demonstrations of favor. We believe that hr. Howard is
not the sole author of this drums, although, if there is any question
upon this point, there can be no doubt as to the worth end'beauty of
the new play. The generally accreditei opinion that dramatic art, in
this port of the world, can be st the best but a stunted growth, is one
of those superficial views which are upheld by the ignorance or super.
cilicusness of a certain class of critical writers who, no are sorry to
say, are only in too great number. The time will certainly come, hows
ever-.nnd that period is not for offb-when managers, public, and critics
will begin to perceive that domestic talent can produce fine work when
it is sensibly encouraged, and that to delay such encouragement is to
deprive ourselves of that which we have long endeavored to possess. The
production of Hr. Howard's drama will serve, in a large lecture, to il-
lustrate our views; although, if it had been a failure, these.viewe
would have remained unchanged. Fortunately, the play is not a failure,
and this fact should have a beneficial influence upon vucillating minds.
"The Banker's Daughter” is a drnmn in five acts, constructed upon good
models, excellently conceived, and executed with admirable strength and
unity of purpose. It consists essentially of two elements-nthe comic.
interest and the emotional interest-eech of which is of good quality
and gracefully interwoven with the other. Although the human and fine-
puthetic features of this play are its most noticeable characteristic,
there is also much in it which, although of secondary importance, goes
far to make It a work of fresh and original nature. In the limited space
at our commend we will refer as briefly as possible to the story and mo-
tive upon which the play is besed, to the moral which it bravely incul.
notes, and also to those details which induce us to call this n thor-
oughly American drama. The motive, in general, is somewhat conventional,
and would have led most plnywrights into terrible nistnkeez in the pres-
ent instance, it has been used with excellent and novel effect. This
native is simply as follows: A.young girl, who sees her father on the
point of bankruptcy and dishonor, consents to give up the poor man whom
she loves and to marry the rich men when she does not love. This would
be a very weak motive upon which to construct a play, if the former had
not been strengthened by the dramatist who, to render the notion of the
girl perfectly logical, pictures the hopeless misery which will follow
her refusal to consent to the proposed marriage; for, her tether being
a banker, his failure signifies the ruin of thousands of honest men and
women who have placed implicit trust in his honor. There is something
very appropriate in this motive at the present writing. Thus the starting-

187

point of thd play is fixed, and we are inclined to view it as strong
enough for what is to follow, since it is natural to suppose that a
high-minded young girl would willingly sacrifice herself, rather than
see her father dishonored and the poor defrauded of their scanty earn-
ings. The story is exceedingly interesting and, in some points, in-
tensely dramatic. The heroine is Lillian, daughter cfagz'.w Westbrook

who is a partner in the firm of Babbage Q.hestbrock. is betrothed
to a young artist, Harold Routledge, and married John Strebelow, who,
being deceived by her father, supposes that she loves him. Another lead-
ing character, Qount gg.CaroJec, is also in love with Lillian. The
opening scene is in New~York, but the chief events of the play take
place in Paris. After Strebelcw and his wife have been married seven
years, the personages of this drama of love meet in the French capital.
In brief, Routledge is killed in a duel with Qarojag, Strebslow dis-
covers thnt his wife does not love him and separates himself from her,
and the last act pictures the heroine alone in her hequcrk home. 3y
this time second love has triumphed over first love, and the wife has
given her whole heart to her once unloved husband. The play ends with
a reconciliation, which is brought about through the innocent intervene
tion of Lillisn's child. In this synopsis em have not attempted to

give more than the crudest outlines of this interesting story. We will
refer, in passing, however, to the scene in the American le‘ntion, where
Cachac provokes Routlggge to the point of insult, although the latter,
to shield the name of the woman he loves, prefers to bear the qunt'l
provocations rather than take them up. But the insult is turned dex-
terously, so that, instead of Lillian being involved in the dispute,

the American flag becomes the subject of the quarrel. The concluding
tableau of this scene is highly effective. At the same time, it is to
be remarked that there is a weakness in this portion of the play which
will strike keen observers unfavorably: why should Qarojag hate Rout-
lgggg, who has been quite as unfortunate as himself as regards ii i
love? The gaunt, to be consistent, should seek to revenge himself upon
the successful suitor, not upon the rejected artist. The playwright
would have us believe that, because Routledge haspainted for the §glggl
a portrait which strikingly resembles 55;. Strebelow, the Count, who
recognised.the portrait, has good reasons for his Jealousy and ultimate
vengeance. But the character of ggrojag scarcely coincides with such a
view. As to the personages of the drama, they are drawn with unusual
skill and distinctiveness. do will pass by both Strebalow and killing,
characters drawn from the regular school of emotion: but we must call
attention to old Babbagg, who reminds the spectator of Sulgy in “the
Road to Ruin”; to 2;. Brown: and his wife Florence-.Winter and Spring
gayly mated..who are a very comic couple; to George washiggtog Phipps,
who is the best specimen of a certain class of Americans that we have
yet seen upon the stage: and to ggntvillaig, a French art critic, wifih
a taste and a method of his own.wfiThe comedy in which these characters
develop is of an excellent quality. The tone of the entire play, we may
add, is pure and elevating, and the moral purposen-since morality is one
of the essences of dramatic art-ole an unusually good one, namely: that
the human heart is fully capable of loving a second time, that the fee-
cinations of youth are frequently more physical notions, and that respect
and veneration may engender the highest and truest kind of love. The

188

concluding scene of reconciliation is tenderly and ingeniously managed.
Altogether, we are glad to welcome, in ”The Banker‘s Daughter”, a drama
of lofty purpose, conscientious workmanship, and sustained interesto-a
worthy forerunner of still better plays by American writers.

A The acting, on the whole, was highly praiseworthy. although on»
even in a few points. Miss Sara Jewett, as Lillian, depicted the son-
rows of the girl and the tenderness of the mother with rare grace and
refinement, and Miss Hand Harrison, as Mrs. Browne, showed herself to be
the possessor of fine talents for comedy; her humor had all the merit
of sincerity, without at any time bordering on coarseness. These two
characters are excellent foils to each other, and in the hands of these
ladies their importance is fully Justified. Hr. Thorns's Jog; Stgebelow
was a strong and natural piece of acting, although.his constant repres-
sion of his own force was carried too far. Hr. Thorns always suggests
more than he accomplishes, but no actor can express better than he silent
passion and stifled emotion. Hr. Le Mayne deserves the warmest praise
for his impersonation of Browne; the part could not have been in better
hands. The same may be said of Mr. Polk; who made of EhiEI! a thoroughly
amusing and characteristic personage. hr. Walden Ramsay played Harold
Routledge with a degree of quiet force ahioh won the entire sympathy cf
the audience. 0n the other hand, Mr. H. V. Linghamn despite some excel-
lent imitations of French manners, made Carojag far too dark and villain.
one: while Mr. Bowser, as Montvillais, gave a very inadequate performance.
Praise is also deserved by Mr. Stoddnrt, as Babbage; Hr. Parselle, as
teetbrook; and two little children who appeared as Natalie at different
ages. to need only add that the new drama was placed upon the stage in
several sets which were notable for their rare artistic beauty.

AHUSEMENTS.
“The Henrietta,” e new Flay by Broneon Howard for Robson and Crane.

 

That generally laughed~et firm of comedians. Heeere, Robson &
Crane, began their long eeeeon at the Union Square Theatre lnet evening
with ”The Henriette,” a new play written for them by Mr. Bronson Howard.
The venture wee extremely careful no to the work done by the playwright,
ae well no in the repreeentetion. end a great deal of eucceee was achi-
eved Alike by the author and the principal ectore. The theme was Wall
Street, end it wee treated with so much wit, eercaem, and waggery that
more laughter than it reieed could hardly have been expected. The dif-
ficulty of combining e feminine interest with the main eubJect wee over-
come with ekill and effect. except when eober eentimentality wee attemp-
ted, for therein lay all the failure diecernible in the piece. The euc-
ceee wee predominant, however. end when Hr. Howard who called out. half
way through the performance, the demonstration woe hearty end even en-
thueiaetic. He had quite redeemed himeelf from the failure of ”In the
Adirondacke.‘

The character provided for hr. Crane wee that of a leading operetcr
in Wall etreet. He wee e wholeeome old fellow, with eo men: millione at
command that he toeeed thcueande around like triflee. He wee concerned
in a tremendoue deal with the Henrietta nine. but he had a love effeir
on hand with e widow, too, and to win her he contrived to make here lcee
her fortune in etocke. He had a eerioue matter. too. in fighting a
powerful epeculntive nntegoniet. who turned out to be hie own ecoundrelly
eon. In ell hie acte, conic or grove Mr. Crane wae equal to hie teek.
It ie herd for e low comedian in e role chiefly farcical, to euddenly
become melodramatic without letting the laughter continue. Hr. Crane
did it.

Mr. Robeon wne not eo fortunate. Hie few eober periode were declined
ae euch hy the audience. end even a grievoue eacrifice. made with heroic
intent, woe conetrued merrily. But the root of hie embodiment of e
vecuoue young clubmen, who became “a Napoleon of Well etreet' by decid—
ing hie movee with the toee of a coin. was cnpitnlly droll and funny.

Hie part rettled with hite et etock gambling and these were uproariouely
enjoyed by the male hearere. although on the ladiee they were naturally
IOC‘e

To divert the feminine portion of the audience, and to by no meane
diepleoee the root. were four elegantly coetumed ectreeeee, each with e
eweethenrt, and all employed dexterouely to force love and beauty into
the proeaio principal topic. There were four eeparate and dietinct
etoriee of wooing and marrying, ranging from funny to pathetic. and they
were ell edroitly interwoven into one plot. Indeed. ur. Eowardhed shown
e nicety in thie reepect which come of hie earlier pieces had lacked.

DRAHAS OF THE CIVIL EAR
Bronson Howard's “Shenandoah“ Heartily leceived at the Star Theatre

Military And Domestic

Hilliam Haworth's rerncliff Crumblee Away at the Union Square

A Theatrical Evening of Note

After the third cry of I'Shenandoah" last light there were loud cries
for the author.

Up to that point all had gone smoothly. The curtain had Just fallen
on e capitol climax and success seemed assured.

The popular enthusiasm had time to cool a little during the long
and elaborate untanglings of the fourth act. When the curtain fell for
good and all the cheers were comparatively faint, we came away from the
Star Theatre feeling that hr. HOward had Just, but only Just missed a
triumph.

'Shenandoah' which is described as a ”military comedy drama,'_comes
nearer comedy than drama. It is not a grand stage synthesis of the war
or en epic of patriotism. The sentiment of the play is curiously tangled.
The military interest is episodic. in intricate domestic intrigue in
the end overshadcws the more interesting part of the plot. It could not
hold e candle to Charles Lemon's admirable patriotic drama of “Jean
Daciar,‘ for instance. which we saw at this same Star Theatre last spring.

Yet. as plays go, “Shenandoah'is a very good play; with all its
faults far better than "The Henriette.“

Since it was first produced in Boston, a few months .80. Mr. Howard
has made important changes in 'Shenandoah.' He tells me he has strengthen-
ed the dramatic side of the work.

It would be easy to strengthen it still further by eliminating some
rather gg.captendum comic passages in the last two acts. Above all.
however, the play needs lightening of such superfluous characters as
Mrs. Edith Haverill and Old Margery, who only serve to delay tbs denoue-
flfln‘e

May I add-.thongh it cuts me to the heart to do ito-that the pretty
but irrelevant part of Jenny Buckthorn should be pitilessly shortened.

* Lastly. we should not grieve if we were spared a good deal of all
that letter reading.

The plot is based on the conflicting passions of love and patriot-
ism. it the Opening of the play we find Colonel West, Captain Heartsease

192

and Colonel Ellingham on the brink of betrothnl to three singularly
pretty girls.

The first shot firsd.ngoinst Fort Sumter disturbs their idyls and
ear parts them for a season.

The play closes with a peaceful domestic scene after the war in
Washington. All the Jacks are of course united to their respective Jills.
though not without much trouble: General Heverill is reconciled to the
site from.vhon he had been estranged. and Gertrude Ellingham, who at the
beginning of the story see a desperate and distracting little rebel,
comes over to the Union ere she veds Colonel West, her lover.

Though it drags a trifle, the opening act is. on the whole. clever-
ly constructed. In the second and third acts, shich show us a charming
tier of the Shenandoah Valley, the interest deepcna, till it culminates
in a distant battle scene and the temporary defeat of the federals. The
retreat of the union men is singularly effective. It is stopped by the
heroism of Colonel test and the appearance of Sheridan, who dashes
across the stage on his gallant charger and turns the fortunes of the day.

The fourth act is a drop, dramatically, and lasts at least ten
minutes too long.

By far the best work of the evening was done by Mr. Ksllard, who
made a strong and.natural confederate conundrel; Hr. Harsood. whose HaJcr
General Buckthorn was a delightfully genial and delicate bit of comedy,
and by pretty Miss Viola Allen, chose Gertrude seeaed doubly spirited
by contrast with the mild effeminacy of her lover, Mr. Henry Miller.

Mr. wilton Buckeye has a comparatively small part.

flies Dorothy Dorr is still little. but a charming parody of hrs.
Potter. hiss Effie Shannon was rather stronger than usual.

I am glad to say the band at the Star has been improved. But thy
ponder the gallery by playing music hall ditties.

Ialmer’s Theatre - Aristocracy_

Under the title of ”Aristocrncy' a new play by Hr. Bronson Reward
was acted last night at Palmer's Theatre for the first time. The name
of this author is fraught with pleasant associations and, therefore,
it naturally arouses lively interest. The writer of “Shenandoah” and
“The Henrietta" is a writer whom the public will always gladly greet.

A multitude of spectators of the best class-intelligent, refined, syn-
pathetic people - filled the theatre - and very cordially welcomed the
piece. It is a comedy of American life. and it has been written with

a didactic purpose. The dramatic element of it is delightful, and upon
the keel of the dramatic element the moral lesson.- which is trite though
true - sails comfortable into port. Purposes in plays go for nothing.
They are always present, more or less distinctly . because the moral
element enters into all things and takes care of itself. The spectator
of a play is best pleased when he is permitted to imbibe his moral with.
out ostentation, whether on the part of the moralist or his victim.

The important thing to an audience is the play, not the percept.

hr. Howard appears to have been wishful to rebuke the notion that
wealth can buy everything, and to deprecate an alleged American subser-
viencs, in certain circles, to foreign standards of manners and to for-
eign ideas of social and political life. The solicitude expressed hy
Washington lest the youth of these United States should be contaminated
by indulgence in foreign travel is mentioned in the play.bill and through-
out the comedy and mood of Ur. Howard is distinctly patriotic. The
Eagle flies. He is a noble bird. and whether in his flight or on his
perch he commands respectful‘observntion. Everybody will agree with
hr. Bronson Howard that the worship of wealth is pernicious. and that
American imitation of foreign ways, if it exists. is as reprehensible
as it is absurd. Neither the novelty nor the potency of Mr. Howard‘s
propositions, however, is likaly to seem impressive. Wealth.has always
been an object of attack; . although nobody has yet shown how the world
can get along without it. - and the American Republic is about as deno-
oratie, at present, as the most ardent apostle of fraternity and slobber
could desire. If washington were living now it is Just possible that
his ”serious regret“ would be aroused less by the spectacle of foreign
travel (from which wise men.nay learn much) than by that of domestic
immigration. Our country is not suffering because some of his inhabit-
ants sometimes roam in Europe. it may, perhaps, be an open question
whether certain former inhabitants of Europe night not have favored our
country if they had stopped at home. Let it be conceded at once. how-
ever. that hr. Howard's perfectly innocuous moral is a sound one and
that it is well delivered. His play of "ireistocracy“ would be Just as
clever without it. and that fact, - which is the essential fact, - indi-
cates that the piece is a good one. The indication is entirely Justified.
In character. incident, movsment and style the comedy is firmly knitted
and frequently felicitous. In dialogue the composition excels anything
that Hr. Howard has hitherto written, alike in power and in form of phrase.

It is not upon American foibles only that the wholesome, if per-
haps somewhat exaggerated. satire of this comedy is directed. Types of
English and of French aristocracy are also made the themes of mordant
delineation and of pungent sarcasm. The exceptional type is. indeed,
rather too loosely displayed as the representative one-whether domestic
of foreign. Noblsman are not fools or villains merely because they are
nobles, and scions of toil are not invariably heroes because they are
scions of toil. It is character that tells. Dramatic effect, however,
can often be best created by the use of exaggerated instances, and it is
dramatic effect that counts. Mr. Howard‘s plot is interesting. because
it portrays the consequences that ensue upon anatory entanglements of
wealthy Americans with titled though impecunious foreigners. A girl who
has been parted from her lover by a match-marring busybody becomes. in
pique, the wife of a foreign Prince, and that Prince makes use of his
opportunity, as a member of the family, to attempt the seduction of his
wife's mother. The latter, who hates him, nevertheless allows herself
to be fascinated by his wickedness, and so, in an innocent way becomes
compromised; whereupon her husband well-nigh chokes the Prince and turns
him out of the house. All this bold in the summary, but all this is made
to soon important in the treatment. Mr. Howard has wrought up the ac-
tion so skillfully. by a score of little devices and espedients. that
his auditors, at the climax of act fourth, felt almost as if they were
looking upon a tragedy. An actor possessed of true power - the power
of innate nobility - would.hnye made much more of that climax than was
made by the hollow, reverberating speaker who assumed the American father.
Reflection on the episode after its passage. though. could scarcely fail
to suggest its essential frailty. The wife is absolutely blameless.

The seducer is a more blackguard, who would have been expelled at the
first step instead of being tolerated till he caused distress. It is

in the detail, the tracery, of the commdy that its best beauties are per.
ceptible. in literary fibre and in dramatic suggestion it is very del-
icate and pleasing, the women in it were acted with remarkable ability.
Miss Viola Allen conspicuously distinguished herself. A slight tendency
to preach might advantageously be avoided. Er. Piggott noted an English
aristocrat, of a rather shady kind, with scrupulous fidelity to life.

Mr. Fred Bond delighted the house with his presentment of the mecurial
Frenchman who loves his friend's wife with unspeakable devotion and re.
seats, even to the extent of warfare, her husband's neglect of her. All
the company were twice called out after the third curtain. and the author
had the merited compliment of a special call and a tumult of cheers.
”Aristocracy' can be recorded as a very positive success.
