Entertainment.
WINTER CREWS GOING OUT.
The Cut of the Season Expected to Be
Heavy---NeWs of the
Day.

The benefit entertainment at the opera
house last evening, when the drama
Torn Asunder" was presented, drew
out a very large audience in sympathy
with the object for which the programme
Was given. The play proves to be sub
stantiajly the old drama "Driven from
Home" and was presented III manner
that served to greatly please the audi
ence, all the characters but three being
taken by local talent; II. c. Chapman.
Mrs. Hattie Bogart Chapman and \. ).
Gardner, professional people, sustaining
their roles in a highly competent man
ner. MI. Chapman is good actor. and,
moreover. has shown himself exception
ally valuable as q cOacher. The charac-
ter of the young sneak thief, Joe Gibbs,
usually played by MIR. Chapman. was
taken by H. V. Quackenbush, who made
the part one of the most prominent in
the play. He is all actor whose ability
is seldom seen on the amateur stage,
and does not suffer in comparison
with professionals. Mr.. Mignault made
an admirably YiIlainous sc0undrel, and
put his large stage experience to good
use. 7. f. Fellows as the judge fitted
the role. and Miss Margie Lambert as
Mary Clifton. afterwards Mrs. Judge
Stanley, was effective. In her unac-
custOmed SOubrttte part of Matilda
Jane, Mrs. Chapman gave refreshing
life to the entire presentation. The
Kings Daughters will undoubtedly
receive something substantial as re-
suit of the performance of Torn AS
UNDER" the last of which occurs this
evening. Another large house is prom
ised for the closing performance.
