THANKSGIVING. THE DAY WHEN HE IS SURE TO BE ACCEPTED, member of the entire aristocracy of Europe to-day is either a fool or _ it failed of effect, but outside of this it remains very aknave. In so far as the piece was didactic and its premises false much what its author intended it to be—a drama with a — a lesson. . Messrs. Frohman and Hayman have given the piece a handsome mounting. In the second act a good many Americans see for the first time the costuming which in this enlightened century, Her Intelligent Majesty, the Queen of England, in: shall be worn by women at court. These costumes are elegant and instructive if not artistic or picturesque. “ Aristocracy " is well cast, the men, however, carry- ing off most of the honors. Mr. Lackaye's Jefferson Stockton, and Mr. Bond's portrayal of the fin du stécle Frenchman are especially meritorious. Messrs, Faver- sham, Arthur and Miller, have good conceptions of their respective parts and the entire performance on the male side is encouraging to those who know that among the young men of to-day we have to find the actors who are to make the American stage of the future. Miss Walsh's Diana Stockton was a fairly even performance but lacking in finish. Miss Allen’s Vérgénéa, although earnest and sincere, was marred by the monotony of the minor tone in her voice. On the whole, however, the presentation of “ Aristocracy" is an adequate one and well worth seeing.
