Admirably acted, effectively staged, full of, .human interest, with pathos and humour judiciously alternating. Miss Lily; Dampier, who plays Elsa HarlingV is entrujsted with a part wkich nine actresses- out of ten would pro. bably overdo and spoil. Mr Alfred Dampier, the, head of the company, is manliness personifieH; his hanHlin; of the part' of NNcrd r the' Bushman Could scarcely US improved upon.
