''rHE sTRArEeIsrs'' AT Pixies.
Pixies Opera.houss was we'll filled last
night with an audience drawn together by
the fame which has preceded "the Strate-
gists," and also came fully prepared to en-
Joy an evening of slid fun. The hearty
laughs that followed one after another,
and the vehement praise that was given the
piece and the actors, attested that every
thing came fully up to the high expectation
to which the public had been lead. 1.-THE
Strategists" is four-act farcial comedy,
full of fun from first to last. There is no
attempt at plot.
Two young people want to marry and
the old FOLKS object They resort to STRAIT
esy to gain the desired consent This is
all in the line of plot there is about il.
The fun consists in the pranks of "Jack
Rutledge" (Mr. Clinton HalD while he is
maneuyering to bring the old people to a
proper frame of mind. He disguises him
self first as his own father, then as the ia
ther of his Nellie" and thus disguised
has interviews with all the parties to the
affair.
He represents the persons he Is initiating
so well as not only to deceive his affianced,
but to actually make his father, whom he
is then impersonating, believe he has got
'em," and that he sees his own double.
This scene as a side-splitter actually excels
the Bangs s-Whiff1es" scene in Hobbies"
| which strikes one with such force when
seen for the first time. "The Strategists" is
| immense, and you can not afford to miss it.
