Shenandoah will no doubt draw
large audiences at Powers tomorrow
and Tuesday evenings. 1t certainly
made n fine impression here last sea
son. It's story is dramatically pow
erful and one that thrills every behold
er. There is nothing so stirring TO
the blood, nothing that so arouses the
average man as the sound OF martial
music, the boom of cannon, and the
rattle OF musketry. When the boys
IN blue are seen retreating with brok-
en- ranks across the valley OF Shenan-
doah, who is there among us that
does not feel like springing from his
seat and crying, Charge. boys, charge.
On. comrades. on,''? The man is not
half man who does not feel the
spirit OF warfare rise high within him
when he witnesses n scene like that.
1t Is not too much to say that ''Shen-
andoah" is dramatically one of the
strongest and most intensely interest
ing plays before the public. The scene
is land in the Shenandoah valley dur
ing the war for the union, and the
flavor of war incidents and romance
render it thrillingly exciting. The au-
thor has been fortunate in so con-
structing his play that it does not
appeal TO sectional prejudice. but Is
as popular with the veteran who wore
the gray as the one who wore the
blue. The necessary love story is we'll
told and fittingly developed. and the
element OF comedy so essential TO the
success of every drama enters largely
into its composition. Few modern
plays have been so well adapted TO
the popular idea as this work of Mr..
Howard's. The company is said to
be good without exception.
