One may well hesltate to aceept Mr. Daly's philosaphy of life as formulated by him in bis new play, but thers is something to bo raid both for the theory on which he has proceeded and for the cffectivencss of his means. Hls theory has been that there are n number of persons, fn these thines of decp business de- pression, who care rather to be mnused by hol- low artifices than to be instructed or moved by appeals to the higher nature, *“Life? {a the fimslest play that hos Jately been seen In Chiea- go.

Mr. Daly himselt wight be offended if it wero snid that s cx- traordinary fatrogo of nonscnso had any char- acter at all; amd no ertle will say it has, It fa shnply nonsense,~ponerally holding tho nt- tent{on of the audience, and provoking frequent Inughter, and leaving no very badl impression, nor nny very good one, at the end. *The Great Divorce Casc™ was at least consistent fu beinza farco throughout its four acts, whilo * Life,” fn the third act, hecomes a_burlesque.

The effectivencss of the means cmrluyed t:jy Mr. Daly is a subject that, remains to e consld- ered. Itlsn pleasuro to be avle to say that the company ho has sent here s an improvement upon the one of last year, and equal ln tmany re- apects to Uie organtzation which first proditced “The Blg Bonanza at McV r's ‘Theatre.

He represented the comical perplexl- t{ of the hunted_lusband In o sufMefently ar- tistie manner. Mr. Fawcett Is too good an actor to Do tricked wp n tights and - a ballet dress, but also too wood not to amuse when he consents to take on such attlre. Miss Allee Grev us the representa- tive mother-i-law has the mannerlsnis, or the fndividualltics, whick in her case are unpleas- antly pronounced, but also a very aceurate and artlstle conception of the charucter. ‘The excel- lent Mrs, Stoneall, who represented tho emumne purt at McVicker's Theatre wome weeks ngo, wrus o shade too bolsterous and domineering.

The other acting is ¢ nmd catls for little in tho way of dispralse. All the ecnsure that can be lavlshed upon the performance must be di- rected towards the play.
