be participating. Beer glasses, umbrellas,
canes, hats, etc, were thrown around pro-
miscuously, and faces were artistically

The final performance of the Patriot
Son was given at IIlch's Opera House last
night to an immense audience. The per.
Torrance passed off very smoothly and
gave genuine satisfaction. By many the
play was pronounced superior to the Color
Guard or Drummer Bov of Shiloh. 1t is a
story of '76, with love and wit OF good
order mingled in its thread, and culmi-
mates in grand battle scene at Lexington,
Mass. The amateurs engaged in this play
deserve special mention. II is seldom that
such a strong cast is seen in plays of this
character. Miss GlasSoe, as Mary Davis, was
exceedingly attractive, and none wondered
that Harry Staunton, the scout, fell in
love. Her singing was superb and won ap.
not be improved. Her acting as an ANA.
ture was faultless. Miss MaudIe Davis had
very little TO DO in the play, but that little
she did we'll. The Walls brothers, of
Pittsburg, who had the most difficult roles
in the play, outside of Mr.. Lewis, won
universal praise for the excellent manner
IN which they sustained their roles.
The balance of the cast also
showed improvement and satisfied the
audience Probably the most attractive
feature of the play were the tableauxs.
Mr.. Lewis says they were the finest he ever
had. Miss Hardenstein personated the god
dess, and the ladies representing the States
were selected Tor the purpose. The play
will long be remembered by those who wit
messed it as one of the best they had seen
for long time. Mr.. Lewis. the comedian,
made hosts of friends during his stay, and
we feel safe in saying if he visits the Bel
laire people again he will meet with
warm welcome.
