Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1868-03-31

most fashionable audience, anxious to see
the last sensational drama, Under the Gas
light. Nothing like 1t has ever before beer
presented to Columbus audience. From
Its beginning to its end 1t is filled with new
and startling situations and effects. Tht
pier scene on North river, the Tombs, the
station shed at Shrewsbury Bend, were al
new and very beautiful. But the excite.
ment In the play eliminated In the fina
scene of the fourth act, when Snorkey
was bound by Byke and placed OF
the railroad track, ard was barely saved
from being run over by the passing train
As the flashing locomotive, drawing foul
passenger coaches, looking like the genuine
article, vomiting fire and smoke, passed ovel
the stage, the people seemed fairly wilt
with excitement, and such roar of ap
plause went up. as made the glasses In the
windows dance again. 1t is {
great sensation truly, and will
prove an attraction Just as lona
as Manager Ellsler chooses to play il
here. The piece is splendidly cast. Not 8
part Is badly played, and the result is the
dialogue goes off beautifully. Ellsler as
the Toombs lawyer is immense, and also as
the signal man. Mrs. Ellsler's Laura was
carefully and delightfully."- rendered. But
what shall we say of that charming little
rogue, Effie Ellslerp To say that she
danced and sang her way into all hearts il
but to cay the truth. She is the
only one we ever saw who could
at all approach, that dramatic cocktail,
Lolita. Mr.. Day rendered Byke splendidly
We cannot speak further of the play or the
actors, at this late hour, but would advise
every one to 60 and see it. 1t is the mos
exciting play ever produced here.
