This flsy had lla Initial production at the BU Jamea heatro, Londoo, on April 28 of tbe correal year, aud waa not only favorably received there, hot has enjoyed a lengthy run. lis heroine Is uulcle Lsrondle, s yonng woman of gentle birth, wboan family la related to that of Blr Brlce Skene. Her father, having aiiuandered his means, hss died without making toy provision for Uulcle or ber sis- ter lleleo. The latter becomes a hospital nurse, but Uulcle desires a merrier life. Bhe refutes to beoomea governess, snd In order to seellfsascepts a position aa barmaid at the Btag Hotel, trend- nror. Here the secures two lovers, one of then Blr Brlce Bkene, a low blackguard, and the other, David Demon, a alar gazing fool. To the former abe lends a willing ear, but the devotion of tho latter affords her many an opportunity for hctnlcss Jests. At a hunt ball given In the as- sembly rooma of the hotel lilt proposed, partly In Jest, that a kits from the lips of Dulcle shall be sold at auction lu order 10 ewtll tbe enbecrlpilon list for a charllabk) object. Despite her not very strenuous protestations, the tale occurs, and the bidding finally becomes very spirited between tbe blackguard and the dreamer. Blr Brlce outbids Iiavlcf, aodtoaddtothe discomOtoie of his rival, then and there ofTert Dulcle hit band In marriage. Of course tbe married Hie of the couple la a failure. A babe It born, however, bnt tbo wife Is deservedly unhappy, ner lioabsnd Is a brute, who not only abuses bis wire, but wastes ana squanders hla own substance, and the coople ODaily become pensioners on the bounty of David Demon, who haa inherited a vast fotiune, and who haa never ceased loving Dulcle. This young lady at last has the one moral Inspiration of her life, and refutes longer to accept ol David's bounty. Blr Brlco happens In at the moat Inopportune time and discovers bit wife and David Indulging Inthelrnrst amatory embrace, which excites In him no other emotion than a desire to win at cards some of David's money. David refuses to play, but finally Eroposes that tbey cm the cards for somewhat eavy slakes. Tie offers to risk In this gamo bis entire fortune, equal to nearly a mil- lion dollars of oor monoy, against Sir Brlco'i wife and child, Tbe wsger Is accepted and of coorao David wins, and having, In vulgar parlance, wiped np Iho floor with Blr Brlco, a very dirty mop by the way, he takes his winnings to hut home In the Maritime Alps, where be haa set op an observatory. Here Dulcle has a moral spurn for whlou ooihlng In her past life hat afforded any firecedent or premonition, and her abler, who bas oltowed her. makes a strong appeal to David to kill Ihe earthy part of hla love, and preserve Its spiritual essence, which hss the effect if making him bid Dulcle farewell, as he starts upon a trip to Africa In the Intereas of science. This may lie ont an untaUsfaetory outline of Mr. Jones' story, bnt It severely taxes patlonco to be obliged to narrate even to muoh of snob a sorry tale. It la useless to dlacuna the question whether or not tbe main Incidents of tbo story are lifelike, for the author very likely had no Intention of drawing life pictures, but was sallaOed In this case to wrlie Ac- tion and Indulge in romance. Poulbly, thougb written In his waking hours, It U the substance of a dream, and maybe auch a dream as follows Indi- gestion. The play la full of faults and possesses scarcely any merits. Dulole, with hor sweetest of sweet names, Is visibly shocked wben her sister bids her guard her virtue, joteno hat within her sll tho Inclinations for a dissolute llfo, and few of the qualities which could restrain ber therofrom. sbc wants to ahlne lu the world, to dance, to wear flno clothes, to Indulge In porpotual holiday, and glvca not ono thought to llfo's eorlooe duties, uor lo tho Immortal part of herself. Slio re- ceives with Joy tbo admiration of a roan whom ehe known to bo a dissolute blackguard, and laughs l<> scorn tbe dovoted love of a man whole practi- cally without a sUln. Bbe Is old enough to know that love aud eateomaro the only foundations or happy or reputable married llfo, but In order to gratify her vanity, her lovo of pleasuro and her do- aire for rovengo upon Ihoao who havo slighted her. she accepts the offer of merrlngo from tho debsseil brnte, who grallden a whim In making her bis wife, with sunh a heroine It Is ImposHlble to sym- KMhli», no matter what evil fato bolides her. Her oelnnd maltreats hor. ho mortlOes ber by hlH dmckonneas, ho munnilers the wealth whlob aho hoped forover to enjoy, but his life alter rnarrlago was but tho coniluuailon of hla former couree, and we cannot feel for hor ono pitying throb. Unholy wedlock la ono of the worst forma of prosit tutlon, for within in polluted domain tbo regenera- tion of tho soul la well nlgb Irapoulblo. How could an author hope to glvo weight to words that fall from tho lips of auch a woman as Dulcle? When sho raves In an hysterical way about mar- riage, doca she awaken any sympathy, or cast any odium upon matrimony t Tbe married state la not ono wlih boundaries fixed from the beginning of lime, nor with Immutable conditions governing lu It Is what wo make It ourselves, puro, holy and full of Joy, a heaven on earth, or ou tbe other hand a condition of torment equal to our deserving, and this woman, wboso sordid soul had profaned the holy insulation, orylog from iho depths of a hell nr her own malting, makes no appeal to our sympathy, nor permits ns oron to think of ber wlih charity. David Demon Is a sincere man, but silly. There seems tobellillo In tho charaoter or conduct of Dulcle 10 afford a reason tor his love, but as such oases of lofatnalton era not rsrs, and ss his lovo Is harmless, there can he but little objection to the picture of hla folly. Tho play Is exceedingly (alky, und Its dialogue la very tedious. The literary ohar- acter of Mr. Jones' work Is never of tho highest order, and his oynlulsms and attempted epigrams In this play look wit and are almply dlaagreeab.e, romlndlng one of a sandwich In tho making of whlob the meat waa Inadvertently omitted. The performance was In many respects unsatisfactory, viola Allen was visibly acting ibrooghout, and sbnded too strongly, becoming st times entirely 100 declamatory. Uenry Miller lapsed Into many of bli old lime mannerisms, which we bave recently had reasons to think be had overcome, and William Faversham waa a rata- tally conventional blackguard, with a bead which threatened 10 butt, wlih words flung over his shoulder, with contemptuous twtsllnga nil adown ono aide, and with ahouilngs that wero more dls* treating than alarming. Wm. II. ThomjMon had bnt a little bit to do, but In doing It won the bonora of Hie evening. W. U. Crompton, whose work has so often oliaimed us, was assigned a rolo of such contemptible proportions that we could only sor- row at the fate which such a play had broogbl to him, and nopo that In tbe near future some suoh play ss "Liberty Hall" night again grnee these boards and yield aweet couleut. J. E. Dodson spoke hla lines In a fashion that at times almost iianlihed their dulneas, and Allco Fleober'a words fell likes benediction upon the ear.

Stab Tiirathr.— "To Nemesis, or Lor; snd Hale," a play In four acts, by Mrs. Komualdo Pa- cliecu, wss produced for iho first time on any siago, Heo. 3, nt tbla lion*, by Hose coghlanand her companv before s good sized and friendly audi- ence, tbe play lacks strength ami In the nnt aot la excessively tally, and the combined efforts of Miss Cogutan and her excellent support failed to make Itlnlerestlng. Intbe Drat sot tttla. Waranoff, the heroine, la freely ducussed by the other char- acters in the play, until, when she makes her sp- nearance. she Is known to have a past, but no one knows whether It It shady or not. Bhe It loved by Louie Osston, Marqnla d'Aomale, and tells erery one she does not love him. She la also loved by Count ogsreir, who, to win her. determines to dnd out who and what she Is or was. In the meantime, her sister, Allxe Flaubert, Is brought to her house. Allxe does not know that relationship oriels between them, bnt instinctively loves ber new protectress, to whom she tells the simple story of her life. To her knowledge she haa no kin. Several years prior their home had been ruined by ber elder staler going away with a man to whom ahe wu not married, and evon though aha cams back and begged forgiveness It wss de- nied her. The mother died soon alierwards, fol- lowed quickly by the father, who even In dy- ing cursed his weywsrd daughter. Mile, Walanoff then determines to be revenged upon ineHarqula, whom she recognizes as tbe man wbo caused snob desolation to her home. To thla end abo oonsents In the second set to marry him, and at the open- ing of act 3 they are wed. In the motnume the Const has discovered wbo Mile. Walanoff really Is, and attempts to use his knowledge to poison the mind of the Marquis against her. His effort falls, snd the Marqols and MUe. Walanoff enter fresh from tbe altar, the latter dressed In her bridal robes. The newly made Marquise then bids all the guests proceed to the reception room, and the bridal couple and Allxe are alone. The Mar- quise tbes relates tbo story of her wrongs, admit- ting that the had left the man who would have robbed her of ber virtue, when Utile more than a child, and that aba Is atlll a pure woman. Sho then calls the Marqnla some hard names, and says she only married to be revenged upon blm.and announces her Intention of leaving him, which she does after denouncing him to tbe guests. Aftershe lias gone tlio Marquis resents an Insult oirered to hit absent wife by the Count and stops bit face. In the first scene of the last act Allxe Is trying to soften her sister's heart toward the Marqnla. Finally ths Baronets do la Broyere, who Is a cousin of the Marquis, oomes 10 try and arrange matters to avoid public scandal. Her overtures are rejected, and she Is shoot going when the name of the twin brother of the Merqnls Is mentioned, and explana- tions follow, which prove that tho present Marqols Is not tbe one who wronged Uadelln Flaubert, not hla twin brother and successor, the other having died six years before. Uadelln nowmakeatbeilla- covery that she has loved this man all ths time, bnt lias been etrivlng to convince herself ahe hated him. Sho Is alio Informed that ber husband Is about to fight In her dotense a dnel with the Count The ne.xtacene shows ihe duel, and after her husband Is wounded the Marquise rides on the stage In a handsome curlage drawn by two One horses, and, leaping from Ibe vehlole, with a scream pros- trates herself at the feet of (he Marquis. The duel ceases, and wlih a few words ths play ends. The last act la noticeable In Ita resemblance In scene and action to "Tho Ironmaster." Too play waa well staged, Mlas Ooghlso. aa Mile.
