"TIfc Galley Slnye.v


On Monday night BARLEY Campbel's drama,
60 The Galley Save" will be presented at the Ma
tional Theater by strong company. Concern
ing its production In Baltimore this week the
american says :" It is difficult to speak in too
high terms of the play. which is one of the
strongest now on the American stage. Interest is
excited in the opening act, and is sustained and
intensified to the close The action naturally
leads up to n number of powerful situations, espe-
cially noticeable among which are the termina-
ton of the interview between Ciccly Bidine and
Sidney Norcoa at the end of tho third act when he
declares himself thief to save her honor and the
climax Mt the fall of the curtain. The drama also
possesses the merit of containing at least six
admirable parts--Sidney Noreoh, Cicey Blaine,
francesca, Baron De Bois Dr.. Oiiphdnt, and Frank
In Fats-nny one of which furnishes ample oppor-
tunity for the display of hs,ronic ability. In this
respect 1t has pronounced advantage over
dramas where one part is made undrly promi-
neut to suit The demands of the star. The dia-
logue is Mt all times bright. As Sidney Norcoh, Mr.
Frank Evans, a careful and experienced actor,
made a most favorable impression, giving an in
depreciation worthy of the role, and Mr.. Harry
Cotton, as Baron De Bots, is also deserving of ia
yorahle mention, Mr.. W F: Owen made hit as
Dr. Oiiphant, part which admits Of much finesse
and, skill IN Its handling, May Wilkes played
