A one-act Danish piece, produced in English at the New Strand as King Rene's Daughter, gives a useful lesson in this respect. The author wishes to represent the mental state of a girl blind from infancy, but trained in the supposition that her case is not exceptional. He carefully works out his idea, without wandering to the right or the left, and then drops the cur- ain. Be it understood, we speak of the English version, which is by re Bon Gaultier," the well-known contributor to Tait's and the .Dublin ceT rsity Magazines: we have not read the Danish. Another version of the at p ne piece being announced for production at the Haymarket, we do not men; resent enter into any details, but confine ourselves to the bare state- Sch ". that Mrs. Stirling's acting is excellent.
