 THE PALMER AND ULMER COMPANY IN FORTY NINE.
 There are many plays of the day depicting the career of the miner and the manners and customs of the rough frontier life as it ex- isted many years ago. Many of them hold popular place with that portion of the theater's patrons which is great in numbers, and which has no hesitancy in expressing it's opinions as regards the merits or demerits of either play or player. No better judges as to whether play of the above character is a good one and well done or not can be found than are numbered among this same class of persons, who, to use their own expression, "have been there ID The play of Forty nine" is of better tone than the ordinary drama of it's class, and deals little with the rough and blood and thunder element which is usually so premi- nent. The interest deepens as the story un. folds, and while not free from vein of ten der pathos, is well interspersed with genuine fun emanating from droll and novel charac- ters. It will doubtless be cut and shortened the last act, especially, being too long. Last evening was one of it's first productions, and the circumstances considered, the members of the company did excellent work Miss Lizzie Ulmer, who already has obtained wide popularity. cannot help but increase it in this play. The pretty way Tn Wnlcn sne presents the character or the
 little waif at once wins the sympathy and favor of the audience. The old miner of forty-nine by MT. Geo. T. Ulmer, "Old Ned" an old fashioned negro, by Mir. H. W. Mitchell, Solomon Kane," a general by courtesy but total wreck, by MT. E. E. Grandin, ''Arthur Denison," by Mir. D. R. Young, and Colonel James," lawyer, were all characters excellently rendered The t.three of kind'' tableaux and the 'tcoon straight created much amusement and were incidents particularly good. As whole the company is good one and the play sure of success. This afternoon there will be per- formanee and one also this evening. All who attend may count on seeing most in- terestipg and enjoyable entertainment.
