FRAWLEY has withdrawn “The Fatal Card,” a title that came near having a double sig- nificance, and has called a new with a revival of “The Sporting hess.” The latter Is a far better play, | however you may look- at it, although a certain tone that it seems to have in the first act ie very materially lowered by the In his 1st dramatic experiment—in his present selection of plays and people—Mr, Fraw- ley is treading close to the danger line of tolerance. He has allowed too slight a margin of safety, and it is his own fault if the more discriminating element of his once enviable clientele has deserted him. Frawley's name was one to conjure with in the past, when he gave us Blanche Bates and Frank Worthing, but he should not count too much upon the things that he has done and try to_cajole the public into belleving that the Frawley company must necessarily be a great organization by virtue merely of its title. he man- ager of a theatrical company cannot rest on_ his record and hope to succeed with indifferent wares, which Is a lesson that I think Mr. Frawley is taking to heart about this time. There are possibilities in the company as it is; there “J‘mm’” of better plays in the future, and personally 1 wish Mr. Frawley good luck in his enterprise; but the necessity of reading him a lecture is not the less on his present showing. “The Sporting Duchess” is a piay of modern English life in which the arts of intrigue are dexterously employed and the vices of soclety exposed in an amazingly outspoken manner. There s never a veiled allusion, but rather a boldness of speech that Is absolutely unnatural in its crudeness. There is some good unaffected dialogue and falr comedy, and, art aside, the pla; one of lrpn(t).\'vmrm and Interes TER GARNETT. —_—— Ignatian Evening Dress Function.
