"saints And Sinners."

Is a strong play. It came to us with ie prestige gained by a successful six months' run at the Madison Square heat er, and the audience at the Grand ave it their hearty endorement, whioh rill probably set it rest any doubts ew Yorkers niight have had as to the enuine merit of the drama. The story s not new. It revolves about a womaii, ie daughter of a poverty-strickt-n coun;ry minister. She is betrayed by a soundrel with a bbick moustache and orrugated brow, and is finally brought ack ü ome and to respeotability by her ather, to wait patiently till the great evenger, time, crashes the villain, and ie curtain falla on a prospect of peace nd joy and happiness. Though old, ie story is well told, and the play aounds in fine situations and strong ïmaxes. ïhere is an undercurrent of lumor in it that might be made heavier, or hfe is not all sailness, and incident,lv itcontaius a clever satire oneome F our modern biminess religiou, wüiok ; indireotly inti mates is som .vhat ia pposition to the teachings ot tiie gentie hrist. The company is an exceedingly . ;rong one. It is headed by the veteran 3. W. Couldock, whose creation of the poverty stricken old country minister is wonderful piece of charaoter acting. 'hose of us who remember Couldock in lis earlier days can almost fancy that ime touches him not for he has the ïgor of youth, and art ripens and imroves as the years roll past. Letty 'letoher, the miuister's daughter, is well ared for by pretty Viola Allen, and .eslíe Allen, Cedric Hope, Raymond [olmes, and Frank Norcrosa, who susain the leading parts, sustain them arefully and well. "Saints and 8iners" is a suooess and should draw large
