Thus, when Wil-. Fred Denver, fleeing from the detectives who arc after him for the murder he believes himself to have committed, arrives at the knowledge that the train ; he is supposed lo have taken is wrecked, . he thinks only Of himself, and not of i the passengers who are perishing, and I the audience thinks with him. In this j case, ilr. Allan Wilkie, the new expon-1 ijnt of the part, is said to be very im- | pressive, and, indeed, all through the i piece he contrives to hit off the many | minute touches of character with artistic cn«e. Unlike some of his predecessors in the role, Mr. Wilkie makes his escape )jy tho window of the hut beside the river,, after ho has discovered the real murderer—a more reasonable method of exit than by the door. The Nellie Denver of Miss Frediswyde Hunter-Wafts is stated to be a portrait to which the actress gives great colour, her scenes with Jaikes being sympathetically eonIvincing. The box plan will oncn at the Bristol on Thursday, at 10 a.m. LOUISE MACK, V.A.D.
