EDWARD CAvERLY & Co. are Offering goods at

title to be performed at the National next
week, the Pittsburg Leader says of the .'boom"
caused by its production there: ''Whatever
Judgment may be pronounced here on BARLEY
Campbells MY Pal tner' will have no effect on
eau of the fact that its success everywhere
has been recorded as simply phenomenal. No
play In New York was ever presented for a
season preliminary to the regular season that
crowded theatre as this one did the Union
Square, its successful run postponing the OPEN
ing there by the regular company to an unus-
ually late date, and causing the engagement OF
this attraction for special spring season be-
ginning so early as APRIL

THE GALLEY SLAvE.-TlAs fine play, from the
pen OF that distinguished author, Barley Camp
bell, esq., will be produced at Fords Opera
House on Monday evening, and as it was the
great triumph OF two theaters in New York at
or about the same time, no doubt it will have a
success here. The plot Of the Galley Slave is
described as masterpiece Of construction, the
naturalness and skill with which 1t is worked up
being equalled only by the felicitous manner In
which IL unfolds in the production OF climax
happy, beautiful and picturesque. The interest
is intense, and thoroughly kept up to the end.
The dialogue is always Interesting, frequently
brilliant, and at times thrilling in its high pas
sion and melting In its delicate pathos The
performance by the company is worthy Of the
ing in the minor parts gives as much satisfaction
as the portrayal OF the more important charac-
tiers. OF course this remark has reference to the
general smoothness of the action and not to the
dramatic equality Of individuals. Miss Rosa
Rand, who understands thoroughly the art OF
expressing emotion through the medium of re-
served force, as well as by the power OF words,
will appear in her great character of Cicely
Blaine, and the rest OF the characters by artists
OF ability.
