"SUNDAY."

Whenever acting is merely a matter of Art there is artificiality, and whenever there artificiality there is something of failure, it may be ever so little, yet it is there. But where acting is forgotten, and the player is no longer playing; where the words, and the story, and the pain, and the tears have come into the player's heart, artificiality has no place, and even the pessimist must give way to the feelings that are aroused by the goodness of natural work. And it is in the embodiment of these latter traits that Miss Tittell Brune, according to the unanimous opinion of the critics, so fully controls and sways the emotions of her audience, and this is irjß; more noticeable in any of her fine ances tkan in the comedy-drama " Sunday,'* in which she will be seen .here on Thursday evening. Referring to the production, a leading writer states :—" The delightful character of ' Sunday' ranks with the best Miss Brune has given us. It is human, and truly womanlike to a degree, that shows not so much the art of splendid acting as the absorption of the actress of the woman living the story a clever writer has built. No less can be said of Miss Brune's performance, and no more need be said. The play is of exceptional interest from beginning to end. Not one member of the cast but bears his or her part well, and —but go and see ' Sunday. , " There has been a splendid booking for the piece, as also for " L'Aiglon" to-morrow night, and crowded houses are assured.
