...missed Miss Roach, but not nearly as much as we expected to. Miss Willard, as Lady Teazle, and Miss Standing, as Maria, are endowed with a pulchritude which, enhanced by the natural grace and finish of their acting, add much to the enjoyment of the play. Beauty at the Copley is like artichokes in Sioux City,--the more to be enjoyed because unexpected. Charles and Joseph Surface, played by Mr. Johnson and Mr. Joy respectively, were as different as brothers usually are, and were acted indifferently well. Mr. Johnson is so vigorous in his acting and has such good lungs...

May Ediss as "Dora" and Viola Roach as "Mrs. Knox," were particularly effective in the characterization of these two very essential parts. E. E. Clive cleverly played the henpecked husband, while Robert Noble did well in the delightful and familiar figure of the irate father, Mr. Gilbey. The only thing which one might wish for is less drawn-out speeches, which are difficult to speak and follow. Still, they are full...
