Miss Kahn resembles Mrs. Fiske in the naturalness of her method; Mr. Lewis, as Michael Daverines, though a trifle stiff, and not altogether convincing, made the most of a thankless and difficult part; and Miss Harrington and Mr. Anderson played the colorless sister and brother-in-law with excellent taste.

Athaliah, having learned in Jerusalem of all these massacres, undertook on her part to extinguish finally the royal line of David by putting to death all the children of Ahaziah, her grandsons.
