Wrileia ot melodramaa will oonatanily aaorlllce piebabUlty lor the aake of dramatic effect, and the allgtateat euort lo aoalyae thla play would bring ihe enuie atnclire tumbling to the grooud. Un> a play ot ttala aori neither invites nor demanda aerl' ou Btndy, sad may readily defy crlUolim ao long aa It pnvea Interoetlng, Therefore, wlthoot tba: cOBBloafaUcn of deialla which rtqolreatho oiling ot loataiicta, tbe aumiiilog np ooncemlng tbla play iiinat be ceoldedly favorable. Oiantlng that many of Its Inoldeata are very Iniprohable, that at Icaai one ul ita comedy actnea ahowa excecdinglv bad taate, Itaat much or Ita berolam la o'f ao oxtiavagant a type u to piovoke In- ciedelona amlllng.

There have been recent IndloaUoBB la lead to tbe belief that oullnred sndl eocea are wUllBg to beatow aitenilon upon melo- drantts, and tbe recent aneceaa won here by a play through tbe merit ot a alagle melodramatlo acene tenilen Ihe present prodaoUon moat timely, and oObts a goarantee ot aucceaa. In the dramatlo acene of ''Tbe Hasiinendera" tlio conloat ia between a moon fialni simpleton and a contemptible cad iheslakoi saltiy sold and an ciiual-y paltry woman In "A Fatal Card" Iboio la not only one, but thrre are savaial dramatlo icenea, each ot which la of far more lopoiunce than tbe one above mentlnned. In theae aoenea Uvea are at alake, they are endaU' gercd, tbey are saerlOced, and In one especially, the murder scene In the olUce, a piyobologlcal study ot great Inieieatlapieaented.
