She

She. Says the Sacramento, Cal., Record Union.-She, drew a large audience last night. It was presented much better than we believed they would be able to do in a brief engagement. There was a great deal of new scenery shown. The piece is the strangest and wildest freak of a brilliant and undirected imagination. At times one can fancy that the story is allegorical and intended to reveal deep purpose, and that it hints of a weird philosophy of life that is bewildering in suggestion; at others, the auditor is led to conclude that there is no purpose in the tale beyond the weaving of marvels of wild fancies into a mysterious and not understandable plot. We confess to having abandoned the reading of the novel She before two-thirds through its pages and without any regrets. The play is more satisfactory than the book. Its spectacular effects are great aids, and the realization of the loves of the beautiful women, "Ustane" and "she," gives it poetic charms and graces. The Webster-Brady Company undertook a heavy task in handling the piece. Their success was acknowledged last night by much applause, and encores for many of the spectacular effects and melo-dramatic tableaux with which the play brustles on all sides. It will be played again to-night and for the last time at the Saturday Matinee.
