"AorOss the UsntIse enty ut the Arch.
Pepper and spice, and good many things
not at all nice, are the constituent elements of
the piece entitled Across the Continent, which
was produced last evening at the Arch Street
Theatre, with the ''young American actor" Oliver
Dowd Byron in his specially of Joe Ferris
otherwise "the Ferret" II is impossible after
but single hearing to give an adequate ac-
count of this remarkable performance. The
author has expended his ingenuity in cramming
che greatest possible number of horrors into
che smallest possible space and 1t is sufficient
characterization of the piece to say that il is
like all the other sensational dramas that have
been produced during the past decade, only that
it Is little more SO. In fact, 1t is an old play
that had considerable popularity at the Bowery
Theatre some years ago, with as much addi-
tional spice thrown in as 1t we'll carry. The
audience Is treated to case of delirum tremens
in the first act aud this is followed by an
amount of blsck-hearted villainy aud fendlsh
Vaccinations against virtue and innocence fear
ful to contemplate, and an appropriate finale is
furnished by a battle with the Picgan Indians,
Just at the critical point of which aid arrives per
Pacific Railroad, the train making the good but
not extraordinary time of twelve miles in
eleven minutes. Mr.. Oliver Dowd Byron is not
an actor of very exalted genius, but he fully
understands the kind of work he has cut out
for himself and his Joe Ferris" is lively and
dashing, and in the style that the galleries de-
light in. There are a good many persons who
have taste for such pieces as Across tie Contt-
nent, and who are not able to appreciate any
thing better; and there is no good reason
why they should not be gratihed. It's serious
question, however, for the dramatists of the
future to consider whether they will be equal to
the demands upon them. Only certain amount
of gore can possibly be shed during four or five
acts and when the limit is reached, what are the
play manufacturers to do for the satisfaction of
the unsuitable appetites of their patrons? There
will come a time when the public will weary of
the sensations of across the Continent, and we
take certain amount of fiendish delight in ask
ing the ''young American actor" Oliver Dowd
Byron, what he will do then for a fresh sem
sation?
