"THE SILENT WITNESS."
There was a large and deeply-intorest-ed audience at the Grand Opera House last night, when, for the second time, the Muriel Starr Company presented the drama, "The Silent Witness," which is full of human interest. Miss Starr excelled herself. Her part in the play is one that needs intensity and yet restraint, and in both Miss Starr was admirable. Mr. J. B. Athohvood's impersonation of the old college janitor might be termed super-excellent, while Mr. Frank Harvey as Richard Morgan, and Mr. Allenby as Bud Morgan were excellent, and were well supported by Mr. A. Styan, Miss Marion Marcus Clarke, Miss Ethel Morrison, and Miss Daphne Bairn. "The Silent Witness" will be played again to-night and to-morrow night. "Common Clay," the second production by the company, makes a strong appeal to men and women with a knowledge of the world and its ways. Itthrows a strong light upon a certain phase of life. The drama is constructed on somewhat unusual lines, having for its foundation the almost hereditary misfortunes of a girl. This production will be staged on Thursday evening next and the three following nights. For the last two nights of the season, on Tuesday and Wednesday next, a sensational drama, "Three Faces East," will be presented. The box plans for the whole season are now on view at the Bristol.
