But time heals all things, as we used to say when we had no object in being original, and though it is a horrid, ungrateful thing to say, Gotham forgot Miss Coghlan, or at least remembered her without the smart of the newly inflicted wound. And now she has come back to us—her own inimitable self—heightened and accentuated by gorgeous costumes which no leading lady could possibly afford; and with a repertoire, a supporting company, a manager, a husband, and all the rest of the paraphernalia so dear to the heart of a true actress. Miss Coghlan has just produced “ London Assurance,” the first of the eighty plays which ended in “The Jilt,” and which have kept Boucicault verdantly alive. It was probably Boucicault’s greatest effort, and if the old gentleman had gracefully been gathered unto his forefathers after its evolu- tion, he would have been none the worse for it. Miss Coghlan is a handsome Lady Gay Spanker. 1 feel 1 ought to call her rollicking, as everybody does, but I hate the word as applied to anything but a tavern song. In the parts where coquetry, vivacity and femininity are required Miss Coghlan is not to be surpassed. She is everything everyone ought to be, if not more. But when tenderness and pathos are involved, my Lady Gay is an incomprehensible creature, who expresses emotion by a corrugated voice. J. H. Gilmour played Richard Dazzle very unsatisfactorily. The fact that he had pockets in his trousers seemed to prey upon his mind, and his methods were annoying and irritating. The other members of the company did nicely. * * * A S Peg Woffington —the gifted actress who to-day would probably be unable to earn $50 per week on the road, the good old times notwithstanding — Miss Helen Dauvray shows that sbe really has talent of no mean order. In the | much adver'ised and namby-pamby role of “One of Our Girls,” she was pleasant and instructive, but did nothing that six out of ten in her profession could not have accomplished. comicbooks.com
