Mrs. Osttorn's Piny house.—Mrs. Kdllh Ellis linker reopened this house Tuesday evening, April ll, presenting on tlmt date, for the first time on any hUicc, a four net comedy drama, entitled "Tho Point ol V'low,'' which was written by herself, nnd In wlileh she played tbo lending female role. Tho piny proved to lie cleverly written, from a literary standpoint, In no far as aphorlHms and general high class dialogue may bo considered, but there was III tin foundation provided, for scene* nnd Incidents calculated 10 inspire dramatic Interest, nnd as it result iho work lacked Iho necessary Attributes which no to make tin a successful play. Thero wns shown a brand and liberal treatment of political views, and an Interesting manner of discussing some of the problems of life, but the oven tenor of the story aroused llttlo apprehension an to Its outcome, antl con- sequently the auditor's Interest was not keenly aroused. Tim story telts of how .Marjory Thornorofl, who comes of n I duo blooded finally, forces herself to marry a much, unpolished plainsman, James Milieu, who has made an Immenso fortune, tho use of which Marjory's family sadly foci In need. , After u short wedded Ufa which Is not a happy one for Marjory, be- cuute she docs not reciprocate the love her biisimud has for her, various manly imnll- ties in the husband come to the wife s atten- tion, and from ndmlrutlon for him she gradu- ally grows to love him, nnd all ends happily. Mrs, linker gave a pleasing performance of the wife, playing In n nutiirul, unaffected manner, and Iter leading man, Alphun* I'.ililer, ns the iingratmnatlcal, loyal and nio- hiiIons Westerner, was capital. lie acted with sympathetic feeling, and gnvn the char- acter a dignity and force which brotignt him n derided success.
