The EXtleA.

The romantic play Of "The ExiIes, :"
is engaging fine run at the Walnut.
The present series Of represent ations
with materially different cast are in
many particulars superior to the ones
previously given in this city and the
play as now acted is worthy Of the
special consideration of play goers. THE
Exiles," as We have more than once
stated, is an exceedingly good piece. 1t
is far, very far, above the average of
melodramas in substantial merit, and is
a fine example eff the right methods of
treating romantic themes for dramatic
purposes. The story is one of great in .
terest and it is developed with much
skill, and with an admirable feeling
for stage effect. All through the piece
there are more exciting scenes, and it
eliminates with climax that is as sat.
isfactory as it is legitimate. This most
interesting play will be given at the
Walnut every evening during the bal
ance of the week and at the Matinee
Nipa. Erening Bulletin.
This play will be given at the Opera
House, on Friday and Saturday even
ings. the 18th and 10Th inst. The sale
of reserved seats began this morning at
