THE PLANTERS WIFE
Harry Lacy and his excellent company
played 1.-THE Planters Wife" to rather
small audience last evening. The play is not
a new one to our theater-goeTs, but is quite
an interesting one nevertheless. 1t is full of
strong though rather improbable situations
interspersed with some fair comedy acting
Miss Emily Rigl as Edith Gray" is deserv-
ing of great praise and easily took the honors
of the evening. She is painstaking artist
and favorite wherever she goes. Mr.. Lacy
played Colonel Graham" in his usual gen.
tlemanly manner, but he is inclined to over
act at times. Mrs. Kate Lacy az Dora
Graham" appeared to good advantage. The
company and play deserve the success which
has attended both.
THE RINK.
Last evening at the Dwight street rink took
place the last grand fancy dress carnival of
the season. Like the preceding ones it was
great success. The rink was beautifully
illuminated with hundreds of gaily colored
lanterns. which, reflected on the pretty and
gfotesque costumes of the skaters, made as
charming picture as one could wish to see.
There was also a reception rendered Master
Porter Clark, the welI-known little skater of
this city, who SO lately won the championship
medal of New England. This medal, which is
l.
very large diamond, was on exhibition
during the evening and was gazed upon and
admired by the hundreds. To win this
medal Master Clark skated against noted
professionals, but to those who Witnessed his
skating Last evening it seemed no wonder
that to him was awarded the prize. Among
the many pretty costumes present those
worn by Miss Lille Sellew and Miss Nettie
Perkins were particularly noticeable.
