company gave a very finished produc
tion of Sardou's comedy, "Americans
Abroad," ut the Academy of Music last
night to a la:r sized Lut Uglily pleased
andlenoe,
The story of the piece has tn do with
the adventures of a certain Miss Flor
ence Wlnthrop, a wealthy Atns-ricnn
heiress who is living in Paris with her
uncle, Richard Fairbanks, nud his
daughter Jessie. Mis Winthrop's
wealth draws a number of persistent
suitors in the snaps of Parisian psre
siteswhosre abutted by Biro;isi de
Beaumont
To escape their attentions she pro
tends to have lost her fortune and re
solutely begins to earn bvr living by
painting. Her suitors disappear but
ner apparent p iverty attracts to her
(iilbert Raymond au American artist
who love her f r herself aud is ignor
ant of her wealth. Baroness de Beau
mont attempts to sepirste them and
after a strong sneus in which Miss Wln
throp, deceiyed by the wtly Baroness'
intrigue, chargus the devoted artist
with uiorcenary motive.
He indignantly denies the cbnrgu
and as indignantly leaves her, refusing
his forgiveness after she bus discov
ered that he is lunooint Thoy bscoine
reconciled, however, by a clever ruse,
nnd when th certain is rung down
Miss Winthrop is iu the arms of Mr.
Raymond and presnmably intensely
happy.
Miss Mand Harrison's interpretation
of the character of Miss Winthrop was
excellent, and J. H. Gilinour as the

Richard Fairbanks, and among others
who contributed to the enjoymant of
the evvulng entertainment were Own
