HIr VAN WISKLE Harry Watkins
will appear ut Irwin's Hall. this even
ing, ns Rip Van Winkle. We clip the
following in reference to the play from
Il Raleigh paper:
The bare announcement that Rose
and Harry Watkins appear this evening,
in tho above grand drama, is sufficient
OF itself to fill the hall, were it double its
present size. When Washington r.
wing wrote his celebrated legend, he
little dreamed that it would be known
beyond the students library. but the
dran,a!ist II 9ea:ch Of novelty for ths
stage soon put the novelist's whimsical
idea into dramatic form, and the actors
art, that art which embraces all arts,
soon gave to Rip Van Winkle new vi
tallty, aud made the sleepy hero a
household word wherever the English
language is spoken. The original i'm
persouation Of Rip was J. II. Hacket,
who produced it at the Park Thentre.
New York, about the year 1925, but his
success not being marked one, it re-
mained for the late Charles Burke, a
man OF extraordinary histrloDio genius,
to den onstrate that the eccentric Rip
Van Winkle could be elevated into u
prominence second to no other charac.
ter IN the drama. Since Burke's de-
cease, MIR. Joseph Jefferson. IA half bro
ther,) has achieved both famo aud for
tune by contining himself solely to the
performance Of this ono character, yet
adhering closely to Mr.. Burkes style,
photographing. as it were, tie admlra,
BILE impersonntion of his distinguished
predecessor. The character has be-
come favorite ono with comedians, but
none have attempted it more success
fully than Harry Watkins.

Inactivity was the chief feature to-day through

premium exerted no influence whatever in bus-
ness circles, there being apparently disposition
to purchase beyond the pressing exigencies Of the
moment at anything like current values. There is
an almost total absence Of o speculative spirit,
while the export movement is still in state OF
enforced sluggishness from the scarcity OF freight
room and the difficulty attendant upon the nego-
tiation OF charters of vessels OF the desired
capacity Hence business both on and

ues were to great extent nominal. The
cotton market, at least as regards immediate de-
iveries. still duh and almost nominal. At tho
Produce Exchange business was almost at stand.

were numerous unified orders. Prices were nOmi-
