The special scenery and stage settings were of the highest order, and for three acts the audience thoroughly enjoyed the fine pres entation. In the last scene, of the third act, the strongest in the play, Miss Tucker as "Quccna" held the audience spell-bound for fifteen min utes in as powerful a piece of acting as could be witnessed. In this act "Quecna" becomes hysterical and finally goes mad, and when the cur tain fell with Miss Tucker prostrate upon the stage, the 'entire audience joined in a "curtain call" when the curtain arose the lady was seen sup ported by Messis Donald and Butler, swaying as if to fall. The audience was not fully aware of the real facts until the orchestra had played a third overture ,and the curtain arose on a very pretty stage setting, pre pared for the last act. Mr. Bell ap peared and announced that it would be impossible to finish the play as Miss Tucker had completely collaps ed, and all efforts to revive her were of no avail. He announced that tickets would be passed out at the door for tonight's performance and the audience filed out regretting the sad ending of a grand performance. Physicians were hurriedly called and at a late hour Miss Tucker was some what quieted and will no doubt be able to appear tonight. The cause of the collapse is assigned to the strain of continued rehearsals, and the strong effort necessary to pro perly sustain the character. I No Use to Die.
