Miss Allens voice has a caressing sweetness which lends itself readily to poetic passion and love with its clearness and flexi-- . hility she paints the colors of emotion ; with such sincerity as to shame the empty tricks of elocution. How full ana round, and earnest, it can become! But, while I admired the wondrou3 ex- pressive beauty of her voice, I was pained at her tendency to her speech. The Effect is to give undue prominence to words of trival import at the expense of those passages requiring vocal fire and storm. The Dan Juan of Mr. Pascoe is, on the whole, a satisfying rendition of a part requiring dramatic tact and that warmth we expect to find in a dark eyed Spanish lover.

The cardinal, the king, and the captain of the guard are well rendered and surround Dolores and Don John with just enough dramatic light and shade to render a stage picture properly harmonized in dialogue and action. It may be said, by way of summary, that the evident intent of the play is fuljy realized Mr. Crawford's idea was to give full play to romantic sentiment, subordinate historical incident, and exploit to the fullest every dramatic impulse and incentive which could charm the imagination of an audience; properly critical and justly lenient.

For some reason Mr. Campbell's dramas have disappeared from the stage, as far as Salt Lake is concerned. So The White Slave came to us as a kind of revival. The story of the play tells how a supposed octoroon is sold into slavery, the tribulations she passes through and the subsequent discovery Bartley out of 'incidents perfectly natural and as they existed in the sunny South before the war. Miss McConley, as Liza, the supposed octoroon, won from the first, tne sympathy and feeling with which she rendered a part calling for strong emotional display. There were instances in which Miss McConley gave too much force to her voice and action, but on the whole, she gave a satisfactory interpretation of the much abused The most natural climax in Liza. the drama, that in which Liza repells the coarse advances of Lacy, her brutal master, calls from the virtuous girl the most beautiful sentiments in in his trombone solo, was evidently under the disadvantage of nervousness and stage fright to do himself justice.
