evening of which he was arrested and had
tried hard to get work but was each time
refused; that he was tired, hungry and
cross, and discouraged. He said, with
tears streaming down his face, that he was
deeply penitent for his actions on that
evening.

Darts Hall was comfortably filled last
evening with an appreciative audience on
the occasion of the initial performance Of
the Dutch Recruit by the Rodmsn Rifles.
1t is military drama full of adventure.
and replete with startling situations and
thrilling scenes, and gives an opportunity
for some fine acting. The various parts
were admirably sustained and showed care
in their study. J. I. Vegiard as the
Dutch Recruit kept the house in good
humor throughout; he is simply immense.
DR.. Barth, as Col. st. Leon, performed
his part satisfactory to all; he makes a
digni6ed old gentleman. j, NJ. Reticker,
as Teddy O'Connor, was the irrepressible
Irishman, part which he sustained
splendidly. His make up was good and
his humorisms ludicrous in the extreme.
1t would be unfair not to notice Harry st.
Leon, by NJ. G. Reynolds, who acted the
hero to perfection, while in the pathetic
scenes he was excellent and elected
genuine applause. D. j. Van Meter, as
Frank Duncan, performed his part with
all the flushed abandon of a professional;
he was exceptionally good, and by his
excellent acting as the Guerilla chief,
added largely to the success of the play.
Forey Folsom made an excellent John
Harker, the overseer, while K. Fl. Bow
man. K. +. Parmenter, Z, P. McKown,
and II, l.. Schill all did well. Miss Nina
Grover, as Maude st. Leon, displayed a
good deal of feeling and carried her part
throughout; Mrs. E. D. Folsom, as Mrs.
st, Leon, and Miss Mary Reticker as Laura
Duncan were equally good in their parts.
The tableaux were beautiful and were
encored two and three times. The effect
was splendid and elected rounds of ap-
plause from the large audience assembled.
1t is worth the price of admission to see
the tableaux, which are the finest ever
given in this city.
These entertainment which continue
through the week are for the purpose of
assisting the Rifles TO purchase uniforms,
and, as everybody should feel pride in
sustaining good military company, there
should be liberal turnout to see the
Dutch Recruit. Turn out tonight and
give the boys bumper and see the most
successfully military drama on the stage.
