After the prefatory Incidents are cleared awa; and the real action of the drama com- mences, it moves swiftly and stralghtly to its culmination and shows the virile strenth that holds the public interest. The | company that presented this plece at the Boyd theater for a week-erid engagement owes nothing to the original cast, unless | it be the credit given to Mr. Roberts for @18 efforts in staging the play for its present tour. Mr. Hallett Thompson is in every way much better suited to the part of Charley Steele than was Guy Standing, and makes much more of his opportuni- tles.

Up to the present time Hopper has relied, to a cer- taln extent, on a ludicrous and often im- possible style of make-up, to aid in his fun-getting efforts. In the present plece Mr. Hopper comes before his audience in modern dress and with only enough make-up to counteract the effect of the stage lights As the audience sees Mr. Hopper on the stage, his friends and admirers see him in private lfe. His comedy effects are therefore the result solely and entirely of his own art and if the unanimous verdict of the Chicago critics and a series of packed audiences can be relled upon, Mr. Hopper has never done anything half so funny as “A Matinee 1dol Dantel V.
