At PROVIDENCE PLAYHOUSES.
"Miss Blythe of Duluth"

Annie Pixley, as bright and piquant as
ever, began weeks engagement at the
Opera House last evening, opening in
''Miss Blythe of Duluth" for the benefit
e the PROVIDENCE Lodge of Elks and the
owded house ought to enrich their
treasury In no little amount. Miss Pixley
has not been seen since the season OF
1S90-91, and her welcome was n cordial
one. The play is new and enjoyable, the
simple story being well told with the
exception that the denouement is antici-
pated too early, thereby lessening the
interest somewhat. 1t opens in the villa
OF Mr.. and Mrs. John Barkley at "Ozo-
piafby the-Sea," presided over by Miss
Ietitia, sister OF Mr.. Barkley. Sir Tai
bot Ashley and Lady Ashley, adventurers,
nre guests at the villa, he perporting to
be an agent for an English syndicate de-
sirous of purchasing Mr.. Barkley's tan
merry. Miss Blythe, breezy Western
girl, sister of Mr.. Barkley. visits
them, becoming acquainted while en-
route with Mr. Bryce, smart,
shrewd Westerner, whose father
and Mr.. Blakley are part owners
in copper mine. He reports TO Mr..
Barkley that the vein extends into an
adjoining estate willed by the late owner
an eccentric old gentleman TO college rs
prize for an essay which is subsequent
ly won by Miss Blythe. This latter fact
is the key TO the whole plot. AS Miss
Blythe Miss Pixley's mission is TO
straighten out the complications arising
which she does cleverly and brightly, in
Producing several songs and dances in
manner which long ago made
her favorite with the public. The cast
is a strong one, the character OF Mrs.
Barkley as impersonated by Miss Lulu
klien, being one OF the most artistic por-
trayals seen here. and I'm the emotional
scene with her husband the audience be-
