The audience, which was n large one. nnd In which the theatrical profession wna largely represented, appeared to enjoy the humor in the lines anil situations, thin were ut times very good. But the structural weaknesses In the piece were many, and the interest lagged considerably on that aceouut. The story deals with the fortunes of Flcanor nullum, an actress noted In the time of David Gnrrlck for her genius, beauty, wit nnd Imperious temper. The action occurs about the year 17G0, the tirst ait showing Ihe green room of the old Drury Lane Thea- tre, on Ihe night of her triumph as Juliet. She la the pet of the town. A fellow actor. named Barry, piques her at tbe Indifference of a nubleninn. the Karl of Itoxbury, who lins declined lo be presented to her. A young woman of the nobility subsequently npiH'iils to her for aid to escape from a dis- tasteful marriage Into which her guardian enileavors to force her. The marriage en- gagement was lundc when the latter was a child, since which time she has lived in France, and has never seen her Intended husband. Fieauor learns that he Is none oilier than the Karl of lloxbnry. mid. In a spirit of reckless fun aud love of adventure, nnd nlso to rebuke the linndmime young gnl- laut for his contemptuous Indifference, she de- cides to help the young woman.
