drsmstized the play was rather a pleasant
surprise. The company comprised good
talent. and both the parts of 3" L stape'' and
"She" were we'll taken, indeed the latter
presented an appeafancespf sufficient female

won the sympathy Of the audience.
Gabriel. the negro, should not be overlook
ed, though he by bit of broad humor sue

irresistible charm need not expect a play
Of the same strength Of attraction and
yet will lake pleasure in seeing it,
