METROPOLITAN THEATER.
Lights o. London was produced bv
Palmer's dramatic company last evening be-
fore large audience. 1t presented the com.
Pany in its full strength as to numbers and
Drought out several people who did not
appear in the preceding play. The scenery
was excellent, and that in the first. second
and fourth acts especially attractive. The
London street view and the bridge scene were
notably handsome, and on one of them the
curtain went up twice by demand of the
audience. Mr.. Grismer and Miss Davis had
less effective parts than in 1.-THE Bankers
daughter, and by no means level with the
abilities OF either, but they gave them for all
that was in them. To Theodore Roberts
fell role which he filed admirably.
1t was an English dialect part, full
OF feeling and calling for the exercise of a
nigh degree OF artistic skill. lie played it
thoroughly WELL and received hearty call
before the curtain. Mr.. Sims end Miss
Young hsd the next best parts, and presented
them as only good and conscientious stock
actors can. Emma Schulz who will be re-
membered as of the Juvenile Pinafore Com
pany, filled an important part very accepta-
biy. A small army of supernumersries sp
Peared IN the London scenes. The play has
some exira7sgsnt sceLes, but they are OF
minor Importance. As whole, It is a play
OF but little pretentions TO literary excellence
IN the text, but probable. natural, often
touching in It's pictures of the woes Of the
homeless ia TIE great city, vivid 10 its
glmpses of villainy, and yet throughout
chaste and free from the slightest tinge of color
that would offend the taste. 1t embodiss
the story of a prodgal son, who, though re-
pentant, Is armed away from the door Of
home through the arts of q Hsurper of his
birthright; becomes the victim Of circum-
stances that brand him as felon escapes
from prison; falls into the hands of good
Samarltans-a company of old English stroll
ing players suffers with his wife the pangs
OF starvation while in hiding, and is finally
rescued from his n-isfortunes through the re-
pentance Of a tool of the villain who had
plotted his ruin. An old plot in q new set
ting, an old story newly told, and we'll told
aplay with many striking tableaux; play
that appeals to the gallery strongly. and re-
tains well the interest Of tie other sections
OF the house It is well mouated " ell acted
and Is altogether q melo-dramatic success
and viii undoubtedly draw we'll for the re-
mainder of the week. The sane piece tc.
