Harte's 1.-Two Men Of Sandy Bar drew
another good house last night. Although the
play Is full Of interest and Is generally ac-
knowledged to contain the material for the
IL lacking, and that is the npishing touches
or dramatic masterhand. The robbery
scene seems TO be particularly bunglipg, and
70 the standard. The Characters, however,
are admirable representations Of the life OF
which they are types, and are for the most
part very well sustained. Mr.. Robson as
.Col. Starbottle" is excellent, and is des-
tined 10 make that character as fully identi-
fed with himself as Sellers" is with Ray
the two men of Sandy Bar, are all that could
he desired. There Is very little for tha
Heathen Chinee TO do, but that little Is well
done: IL seems that such a taking character
should have little larger field. San Fran
cisco by moonlight should be removed.
Taken as whole, the play runs pretty
as IL is In Stuart Robson's hands and he
holds nimsef personally responsible.
