1.-THE POWER OF THE PRESS

Augustus PitOu and George II. JessOp'S local melo-
drama. The Power of the Press" began its second
week at the star Theatre last night. 1t has been cut
somewhat since the beginning OF its course aud 'h!S
is a gain, as far as shortening the piece is concerned
IT might be shortened yet more with advantage. Ihcre
is no new material in the play. Everything IN II mas
been seen on the stage fifty times before and The ap-
plause at the noble sentiments and actions OF the eooa
peopIe and at the confusion of the villain comes at
inst the points where every stage manager Knows tha'
# can be relied OH. T~hirty-one people are engaged IN
presenting the piece and several OF them are capable
actors. John +. Kellerd, Charles Dickson, Miss Minnie
seligman, Miss Madeline Lucette and Miss Adelaide
stanhope might be mentioned as making especially
commendable efforts.
But the real object Of the piece seems TO be the
display of scenery and the stage carpenter ana inc
scene-painter gain quite as much of the applause Oh
the audiences from night to night as DO the writers
and the actors. That they have done their WORK care
mlly and TO the satisfaction OF the Spectators Is CYL
dent. There are fourteen scenes in all, and The most
Important, from the point of view of those who nave
built and painted them, show the entrance 10 the Man
haitian Athletic Clubhouse, a ~shipyard, 70 hotel cor
ridor and a ship in the harbOr. All these arc close
cOpies of their originals and they are all appIduueI
when first shown. The audiences nave Dceh tuou
