Tho plot, so far aa tho moro outlino of tho story i concerned, is -vory simple, and may be given in a fow words, .t is 80 efmplo, in fact, that tho suthor has deponded ‘but slightly npon his plot 1o hiold the intorest of tho sudiouca.

On that moment hanga hor fate. Archibald Strebelon listons to tho pas- sionate words of his wifo. Loaving her forever, 1o carrios with him hor child, thus orushing tho sweotest aud strongest affeatfon of hor life. Hor mind and body sink benoath the sudden agony and the long suspense which follows; the final restoration of hier littlo one comos too nte. The child is “Lilian'as Last Lovo,"—she dioa reaching ont pititally to ombraco it In this rapid sketch of the story wo, givo little or no idea of whattho suthormeans by tho p)‘ly,arwunt ho has depended on to fix the auditor's intereat. Ho has choson n mothor's lovo a8 the pivotal aselon of tho droma, and he has used tho or- gim\ry affootion of tho soxes meroly s a sec- ondary menns of developing his incidonts, In tis Inttor part of the play everything Is mode subordinate to this maternal lovo; it s treated as & vital, aotive passion of a womsan's nature— a5 truly o passion, as truly & forco capablo of destroying mind and bedy, whon aronscd, as any othor wageion known tohumsnity.Mr. Howard has not oven used any manns to shoyw speoial renaons for 80 strong & dovalopmont of tho material in- wtinot, in the particuler cseo of Lilian, Ho sa- sumes it 88 o natural impalie of a true, warm- hearted, affectionate woman, and on that fe- sumption he roats tho eatiro intorost of tho play. Whaother he be correct in thus placing this pns- sion side byside with, or rathor abovo, the “ grand paseion,"—aoxual love,~Is an intorest- ing queation for the social philosophor, Per- hape the surest way of deciding is to noto the offect produced by tho slny upon its sudiences. Mon aund women do not sympsthize en masgo with what unirno 0 human ‘Dnature, and if they weop with Zilian no stronger proof could bo found that Mr. Howard hss been correct in this diroction. This can prove, not that tho intouso form of Zilian's matornal paesion exists commonly amon ordingry women, but thet it s bas npon natural impulses; thatit is a truthful and propor, not an artificial and merely dramatic, oxaggeration. Hero is the Jury ; whot is their Serdt? " Nobody who ust throngh tho fivo aots of this pieco conld deny that not only. was the sympathy of tho audionco with Zilian, but that her gorrows wero evidently for tho timo thoirs 3 in other words, that the author had mnsde & home-thrust to overy hoart in the thoatra, The temptation of tho heroine wny watched with carnest fonr; hier successful re- sistanco of it called ont npplause; her abandou- mont aod dopth loft tho audlonce saddened sod subdued. It mey, Knrhnps, surpriso the roader to be informed, aitor the forego- ing skotch of tho story, that in largo part the play of " Lilian’s Last Love™ has tho tono and eprightlinoss of a comedy. Many of the dram- atis porsonm aro cssentially comedy cliaractors, and tho incidonts in which thexr appoar bo- long to tho sunny side of amatio it~ oisfuro. Dospite tho intenso sadnees of mooy of the scencs, it might havo na rood n right to bo called » comody as soveral of 0 dramas to which that characteristic titlo has boon applied, as * Fron-Frou,” or * Alixe,” for instance. To elassify it, howover, it can bost bo oscribiod 08 o serio-comicsociaty drams. In point ot dramatic excollenco it will bosr comparison with tho hoat of modern socloty piecos, It I8 in- gonions in construction, intonsa in situation, with the lights snd shades contrasted with artistic effect. Tho dialogue is good throngh- out, and tho tono lofty and moral. Tt deserved good acting at tho hands of the compsny, and, as it by magic, not ona of the performers but rose to the occasion, The audienco was coraptured, and by the fiequoney snd spontauncity of its applauso told how thoroughly it rolished tho picco.

Alize, in whioh sho first ap- eared,was & purely emotional charaotor ; Lilian {’u soruothing more, It is mora in proportion as & mother sorrowing for her stolen child appeals ta the heart more than & jealous girl gnnmlng fora lovor. Itis tho moro intonko charactor, and therefore tho moro oxacting one, But if the task bofors her was s hard one, the triumph which Misa O'Conunor achioved in the impereonation of tho character was moro com- leto. Whon it is borne in mind that this lady as but just ariton from a Jong and oxhausting illugss, hor porformanco last evening may bo regarded os oxtrnordinary. Thore woa no overlooking ler power over the aus dience from tho moment her old lover stood bofore her, s wifo, until tho ourtain foll on tholast act. In tho duel eceno, those who wero not aware of the illncss from which she hes scarcoly rocovered, might accuso her of want of Intonso fociing, but many al- lowancos must bo mado on this “ascore. In her intorviow with hor former lover, sho waa weak and womsuly for & moment, and that yory weaknoss from tho con- goquoncas of which eho {a saved by & dovico of tho nuthor, dolicate, natural, and moaterly, brings down o thunder of applause.
