...Kendul began their farewell engagement at the Hollis St. Theatre last evening with Stephenson's comedy-drama, "Impulse." Mrs. Kendal as Mrs. Beresford was charming. Her grace and vivacity made her the central figure when on the stage, though her part was subordinate. Mr. Kendall also was excellent in Captain Crichton.

The selections were played with remarkable grace and purity of expression, and the technique could hardly have been better. The favorite, as usual, was "Braham's Medley...
