Aiden Benedict'sdramatization of "The Vendetta," entitled "Fabio Romani," was presented ut the Academy of Music Smiday afternoon and will be the attraction during the week. It haa the element of sjreat interest. Walter Lawrenoe, as Vnblo Romani and Cunte Cssare Oliva "the man of mistery," was very good. Miss Francés Field 8 Nina was reniarkably well done. She is an actress whose o motional work ranks among the best. Qood work was done by Charles L. Farwell, as Respetta, the rag-picker. Miss Addie Farwell did very meritorious acting in the role of Mother Biscardi, an old hug. Mr. Benedict is entitled to a great deal of credit for constructing an interestingplay from so horrible a story.

The story is similar to"Monte Christo." A return from the tonib, a murder, a duel, and an earthquake contribule toward animated action, and vil lainy is operated at liigh pressure. Walter Lawrence played the title role In an excellent manner. The part of Nina, the unfnithful wife, proved to bo an anomaly in melodrama, in that it was made consistent to the last.
