TIE THEATRE MAYO AS DAvY
CRocKET r."-The theatre-goers seemed to
take fresh start last night. There was Il
splendid audience at the Thcrtrr to welcome
Mr. Mayo and Miss Rand, and everybody
went away pleased with the evenings enter
tainment.
"Davy Crockett" with Mr. Frank Mayo
as its interpreter, was splendidly produced
last evening. Both the drama and the actor
Will become faYorites here, and that desery-
ed,y. The backwoods character. which the
title role refers to is a type of one OF Natures
noblemen, gentleman born, whose heart is
in the right place, and who accepts what Is
true and honorable, and penetrates the false
pentiiity, bred of custom only, by an intui-
tive process which he implicitly trusts, and
which never deceives him. This is one side
of the drama, and it has never failed toawaken
the sympathy and admiration of its authors
and beholders wherever given. But there Is
its counterpart hardly less attractive, and that
is the role of the gentle and cultured maiden
who, bred in wealth and luxury, refinement
ard fashion, Is able to estimate all these
things at their true price, and discern OF how
little value they are standing alone when
weighed in the balance with the worth of
true womanhood. Mr.. Mayo has made
really enviable reputation enacting this role
during the year, and the fidelity with which
he represents the whole budget Of virtues
which the ideal backwoodsman is supposed
to be possessed is almost perfect. Miss
Rosa Rand, who takes the part Of "Elea-
nor Vaughn" has travelled with him so long
that her familiarity with the piece is little
less than bis, and she is spirited yet sympa-
thetic to very creditakEe and intere ting
degree. The support rendered by the COM
pany was excellent. MIR. Mayo and Miss
Rand were called before the curtain and
complimented by the audience once or twice.
The piece promises 10 draw well, and the
actors will doubtless have enough to do in
satisfying public demands before the season
is over.
Tonight the play is to be repeated. Re-
served seats may be secured at Amboid's.
