National Theatre next week. Success of the New Play. ‘Claire and the Forge Master.' From the Boston Herald of Tuesday, Feb, 26. "Claire and the Forge Master," Mrs. Ettie Henderson's drama funded on Mr Georges Ohnet's novel, "Le Maitre de Forbes," was performed for the first time in Boston at the Park Theatre last evening, and let with much favour from the large audience assembled to witness its production. The story of the play follows that of the novel quite closely in all the essentials, and the divisions of the acts is so arranged as to give each a strong dramatic climax. In the first act, the characters are effectively introduced the loss of the Montbusen family's fortune is told, the Duc de Bligny's desertion of Claire and his betrothel to Herminie, the daughter of Jaillot, the rich chocolate manufacturer are revealed and the curtain falls on Claire's acceptance of the Forge Master's Phillippe Derblay's offer of marriage and her introduction of him as her fiancé to the assembled guests. The second act takes place in the bridal apartments after the wedding; it depicts the discovery by the groom through her rejection of his proffered caresses that Claire has married him in a fit of pique and does not love him, and concludes with his declaration that while before the world they may appear as husband and wife in their homes they shall remain as strangers. The scene of their act is the hunting field, where are shown the futile endeavours of Dr Bilgny (who has married Herminie for her money) to awaken in Claire the love she formerly had for him, and Herminie's persistent attempts to annoy her by carrying on a flirtation with the Forge Master. Claire's growing love for her husband is depicted and the act ends with a cleverly devised scene in which she check mates both the duc and the duchess. The fourth act takes place in the garden of the Forge Masters villa and gives opportunity for a fine scenic effect, by which the great iron foundry, illuminated by light from its furnaces and with chimneys belching flame and smoke is shown in the distance. Here occurs the powerful scene between the two women, in which Claire after entreating Herminie to cease her flirtations with Phillippe, commands her to leave the premises. The duchesse appeals to the duc, who interferes, whereupon the Forge Master assumes the responsibility for his wife's action and the curtain falls on a striking tableau. The fifth act is in two scenes. In the first Claire seeks an interview with her husband just before he sets out to meet De Bilgny in a duel; she entreats him not to fight but he believes her apprehensions are all on De Bilgny's behalf and parts from her coldly. In the last scene the men face each other; just as the word is given and De Bilgny fires, Claire throws herself before her husband and receives the bullet in her hand. The Forge Master is at last satisfied that his wife loves him and with the briefest of explanations the curtain falls. Other characters introduced are Marie Derblay, Phillipe's young sister and Fablen. Claire's brother, who love each other, but are forbidden to marry by the Forge Master on account of their difference in rank and his fear that their union might prove as unhappy as his own to Claire; the Marquis de Monthuson Claire's mother; Baron Lavaile, an eccentric entomologist, and his wife, a gay young society belle; M. Bachelin, a notary, and several minor [?]. The play is well constructed as will be noted by readers of the brief synopsis give above. The authoress has a keen eye for dramatic effects, and has used her material cleverly in their production. She has deitly avoided the dangers of anti climax, where a less experienced playwrighter might easily have erred. The interest of the piece is well sustained and cumulative. Miss Granger easily carried off the honors of the representation. It is adapted to exhibit her powers as an emotional actress at their best. She [?] at the outset a thorough appreciation of the character, and her impersonation throughout was consistent with the spirit in which she played the opening act. Coming Attractions, Maud Granger.

Souvenir!! You can get a handsome Souvenir at Johnston's Pharmacy next to the National Theatre. Souvenir!! The Programme. Volume V. Washington, D. C., Week of March 3, 1884. National Theatre next week. Success of the New Play. ‘Claire and the Forge Master.' From the Boston Herald of Tuesday, Feb, 26. "Claire and the Forge Master," Mrs. Ettie Henderson's drama funded on Mr Georges Ohnet's novel, "Le Maitre de Forbes," was performed for the first time in Boston at the Park Theatre last evening, and let with much favour from the large audience assembled to witness its production. The story of the play follows that of the novel quite closely in all the essentials, and the divisions of the acts is so arranged as to give each a strong dramatic climax. In the first act, the characters are effectively introduced the loss of the Montbusen family's fortune is told, the Duc de Bligny's desertion of Claire and his betrothel to Herminie, the daughter of Jaillot, the rich chocolate manufacturer are revealed and the curtain falls on Claire's acceptance of the Forge Master's Phillippe Derblay's offer of marriage and her introduction of him as her fiancé to the assembled guests. The second act takes place in the bridal apartments after the wedding; it depicts the discovery by the groom through her rejection of his proffered caresses that Claire has married him in a fit of pique and does not love him, and concludes with his declaration that while before the world they may appear as husband and wife in their homes they shall remain as strangers. The scene of their act is the hunting field, where are shown the futile endeavours of Dr Bilgny (who has married Herminie for her money) to awaken in Claire the love she formerly had for him, and Herminie's persistent attempts to annoy her by carrying on a flirtation with the Forge Master. Claire's growing love for her husband is depicted and the act ends with a cleverly devised scene in which she check mates both the duc and the duchess. The fourth act takes place in the garden of the Forge Masters villa and gives opportunity for a fine scenic effect, by which the great iron foundry, illuminated by light from its furnaces and with chimneys belching flame and smoke is shown in the distance. Here occurs the powerful scene between the two women, in which Claire after entreating Herminie to cease her flirtations with Phillippe, commands her to leave the premises. The duchesse appeals to the duc, who interferes, whereupon the Forge Master assumes the responsibility for his wife's action and the curtain falls on a striking tableau. The fifth act is in two scenes. In the first Claire seeks an interview with her husband just before he sets out to meet De Bilgny in a duel; she entreats him not to fight but he believes her apprehensions are all on De Bilgny's behalf and parts from her coldly. In the last scene the men face each other; just as the word is given and De Bilgny fires, Claire throws herself before her husband and receives the bullet in her hand. The Forge Master is at last satisfied that his wife loves him and with the briefest of explanations the curtain falls. Other characters introduced are Marie Derblay, Phillipe's young sister and Fablen. Claire's brother, who love each other, but are forbidden to marry by the Forge Master on account of their difference in rank and his fear that their union might prove as unhappy as his own to Claire; the Marquis de Monthuson Claire's mother; Baron Lavaile, an eccentric entomologist, and his wife, a gay young society belle; M. Bachelin, a notary, and several minor [?]. The play is well constructed as will be noted by readers of the brief synopsis give above. The authoress has a keen eye for dramatic effects, and has used her material cleverly in their production. She has deitly avoided the dangers of anti climax, where a less experienced playwrighter might easily have erred. The interest of the piece is well sustained and cumulative. Miss Granger easily carried off the honors of the representation. It is adapted to exhibit her powers as an emotional actress at their best. She [?] at the outset a thorough appreciation of the character, and her impersonation throughout was consistent with the spirit in which she played the opening act. Coming Attractions, Maud Granger.
