Barrett and Hall Caine. which will be presented
for the first time in this city Monday evening,
is m English drama which was first produced
ut the Princess 1heater. London. 1t Is a study
OF life rs life is not as it might be; not the life
which can only be believed In when it is accom-
panied by slow music and resoundIng speeches
meant to tickle the cars 1t contains passages OF
singular literary beauty, which remind ono OF
Hall Gaines books Yet, with all it's loftiness OF
purpose and the spIendor of it's dialogue, the
drama is SO intensely human that it appeals to
the sympathies of all classes. The scenery
and mec hanical effects are very elaborate. The
cast is II strong one, being presented by Col.
VIM. E. Sims Brooklyn Park Theater Company.
1t comes with the entire Endorsement of the New
York and Boston press and no doubt will
achieve tho same success here.
