Hockey's Lady Matilda was, as on last occasion, a most natural, well studied,, and carofally realised conception of the obaracter; while the higher and more difficult touches such as the struggle hetween her worldly schemes and her sense of duty and affection--were such as to show the full power of the actress. Her daughter Lilian (Mrn Bernard) was, s usual, in her particular par, the life and soul of the piece,As we have said in a former notice, for an amateur, "hor ease, grace, and perfect action are something wonderful, and her power to depict character approaches overy acarly to genius. She was the gay, true-hearted girl of eighteen to the life; and as she pourtrayed the joys and sorrows of this English girl, she swayed the audience to laughter or to tears as she willed. There re was not a point missed, not a hesitant or uncertain word indeed, the words of the piece as words wore forgotten in the life that was being lived before the audience. This is the greatest telumph which any actress can achieve-amateur or professional-to merge the actor into the character."
