The mama Ut the Hon. Sampson Potter

edition OF the "Gsncalogy Of the Potters,"
which may account for the presence In
tho Providence Opera House last night Of

doub less hoped to ind In the bluff Texan
long lost relative. The. decentralization
of Mr.. Gunter's novel has bsen done with
such good ta.tc that nothing is missing
that helped TO make the novel popular.
Potter, the central character Of tho play,
like the novel, is n broadly -drSwn eccen-
trio character, with "A rough exterior but =
big. warm heart which Is full of love for
his daughter. He is visiting his young
lady, whom he has educated in Europe,
and his appearances In the midst OF Eng

watch at times takes on a serious as well
as ludicrous aspect. Mr.. Potter is called
upon to rid his name OF "a false accusation
made about him by Lady Sarah Annesley,
aud this he does in the same manner that
every reader of current literature is
familiar with.
Joseph Wheelock i~mpersonated Samuel
Potter OF Texas and rendered the charac-
ter delightfully."- real. His interpretation
was If anything more delicate and nm
season, especially was this apparent in
his scene with Lady Annerley.
Miss Jeffreys-Lewis played Lady An
nerley very effectively, although she was
al times rather inclined TO o~veract. Her
best work was lone in the last act where
she reveals her fathers crime and her
own treachery before the man she loves.
Miss Lamar, a tall, graceful brunette,
with a pretty face, plays the part OF Ida
Potter, the Texans daughter. 1t
could be In no better hands.
Maurice Drew in the character
of Charles Enrol acted In an earnest and
iorceful manner. The role OF Arthur
Lincoln as played by Joseph Wheelock,
Jr., was rather colorless, lacking the
spontaneity which belongs to 1t. The
rest of the characters were a~cceptably
taken, the entire cast being called before
the curtain after the third act.

"a Hole In the Ground"

The laughable farce, IA Hole in the
Ground" one of Hoyt's l~iveiiest efforts,
holds the boards at the Gaiety Opera
House this week. The play has lost mono
of its sprightliness since last seen here.
The innumerable catchy songs aud
sketches are we'll rendered. Charles
Cowles rs the Stranger is intensely anus
ing aud invests the character with a
peculiar makeup. His songs, too, prove
quite popular and his unique dance in the
second act brings down the house. Barry
Maxwell, as the ex-league baseball UNI
pire, is also original and witty. Miss Hat
tie Harvey, the charming waitress. rem
ders several songs with great success
and her graceful dancing received de-
served applause. Miss May Curtis, the
piquant telegraph girl, dances In a lively
anu interesting name The whistling
solos by Frank "a yton, as station agent,
are Incompatible, and his imitation OF a
railroad train by means of bones" is
original and effective. The other men,

act military romance, Jessie Brown; or,
the Seige of Lucknow" AS military ro-
niances are popular with the patrons OF
this theatre the house held large audiences
at each performance. The play Is an old
one but will never become rusty for want
OF use, as IL is always interesting. The
theme used is the rebellion Of the Sepoys
against the English residents OF India.
Tue third act Is by far the best, showing.
rs it does, the historic siege during the
instruction of 1887.
Miss Kate Glassford appeared in the
heroic role Of Jessie Brown aud fully met
the requirements of the part. She was
ably supported by J. Francis Kirke Ia the
role of Randall McGregor, an officer in the
English army, aud the other favorites OF
Lothrop's stock company. Supplementary
to the presentation OF the drama the mem
bers OF Lothrop's comedy company in
troduced one of their very laughable farce
