METROPOLITAN DECENTRALIZATION Mobiles
troupe, in which he is leading man, and Miss
Dollie Mobiles leading lady, played in dramas
of MOBILES composition Thursday afternoon
and evening and last night, and will appear
again this afternoon and in tLal perform.
snce tonight at the Metropolitan Thsster,
Good houses have marked the engagement
thus far. The Thursday night piece was
The Phoenix, " Interviews being played
last night. This afternoon 1.-THE Phnaix
will be repeated, and tonight new piece by
Nobles entitled "a Man OF the People, :" will
be presented. Despite the fact that Mobiles
plays are of the Bowery order, fl rid in the
extreme and as sensational as a dime novel,
and much after the style of the latter,
they draw well, and MOBILES wins coin
IL the teeth of adverse criticism. This
is due to the peculiarities Of the dra-
matist's method his ready and csustic
wit, running through veins of very liberal
and popular philosophy, and the melodra.
matte character Of mis- plots, which are Just
sufficiently romantic to appeal to the taste
Tor the sentimental, and which present char
acters whose words and acts awaken the
chivalrOus sentiment that in some degree
dwells In al hearts. Then. again, Mobiles
has IN his company one of the best of charac.
ter actors-a specialist, who is unequaled in
German dialect parts and in delineation of
Jewish traits. ln fact, Schwatz is the best
stage Jew " on the boards, and Mobiles drew
the character. Miss Dollie MOBILES is
pretty. graceful, ready with her lines,
and sings sGeetly. So, with these and
a full company in support, MOBILES
wins what is preferable to the manager over
all else-money. II there is choice to be
made between Mobiles extravaganza aud fam
ciful pieces, with their hits at popular follies
and popular fancies. and the questionable,
suggestive and largely Universal French So
ciety sensation plays. of which there he's been
such surfeit, Mobiles productions are to be
preferred on the grounds of purity and prob
ability. He at least does not exalt vice. sr
gloss over social indiscretions II there is
little to praise in his case, there is little to
condemn, after admitting that the public sets
standard by patroEizing that order of
dramas, while permitting the legitimate to go
begging.

Valley Coursing Club met Thursday on
Whitcomb's ranch, about twelve miles from
