A good house greeted the George G..
Min Dramatic company at the Skat.
ing Rink last evening. The play was
Richelieu-Lord Lytton's grandest
work. The great attraction Of the
company is George G.. Min, the man
who but two or three years ago was
one of the greatest preachers of Amer.
lea, and who. then but a young man,
promised to be one of the most fa-
nous divines of the age. He
left the pulpit and adopted
the profession of an actor, and APP
peared first as star. That his natural
talent, polished general education and
careful study in his present profession
entitle him to very high rank in the
theatrical world none who heard him
last evening will deny. His concep-
tion of the character of the great Car
dinal and his manner Of rendering it
were beyond criticism. How we'll the
audience appreciated it was testified
by breathless interest alternating
with rounds of applause. The part
taken by Miss Adele Payn. the leading
lady, did not afft I'd !; chance Of con.
tinued display of dramatic art, but in
one powerful episode she showed her
capabilities as an actress. Mr.. Will
liam Lloyd as De Mauprat was Il
powerful support; he is an actor of
merit far above the average Of those
who play second parts. The gentleman
who took the part of the chief con-
spirator-the william of the play
was recognized by many in the
audience as Mr.. J. p. Rutledge, for
some months last year a resident of
Livingston, where he successfully led
a play at the local theatre. 1t was the
