THIT PLAY ' Those who saw Miss Nance O'Nell at . the Marquaro last night in Suderman's drama. -"The Fires of St John," will - probably agree that her interpretation of the part of Marie, "the calamity . ehlld," excels- any ' of her previous ef forts In this city. Certainly the greater 1 portion of a large audience thought this ' way, for their, demonstrations of ap ' preclation" cam very, near being an ova tion. '.,. - The play 1'- four-act drama, and the - part in which the star appears is one affording magnificent opportunity for v! that' display of repressed emotions In which Miss O'Nell Is so especially gift- HL - It is a translation from the Ger ' . man and was adapted to the English , apeak In g stage by McKee Rankin. t Until the opening of the play Marie haa Been in Ignorance of her parentage. But soon sifter the opening she dis- coeere that her mother is a drunken ' and degenerate -grpsy woman. The dis ' covery has 'disastrous effects upon the moral character of the irl, who casts resistance against her lower passions to the winds. During the first part of the play a remarkably clear description of the pu ritanical life of the Prussian family is . plven It also shows the revulsion of '. jJarle's character after the discovery . of her parentage. In the latter part It ahows the result of her discovery and the final, heart-brbjeen .results of the-! . disaster. The life melody of her mother and her mother's kind, she says, is "Thou .- chalt steal, steal everything," and it is her own life's melody after the pang of the discovery. Her foster sister is , to te married to Oeorse Von Harten, r whom Marie loves. Rather than see the man she loves eo to another wo man, Marie follows what she terms her ; ;ilfes melody" and steals his love by flinging herpelf Into his arms in an outburst of passion.
