"The stormy Petrel."

rhe first production of Miss Annie Pix
ley's new comedy drama, by Stanley
Wood, 1.-The Stormy Petrel," took place
last evening at the PROVIDENCE Opera
House. The play takes its name from the
heroine, Peggy Trueman." the daugh-
ter of "A fisherman, who is so called be-
cause of her fearlessness and love or the
sea in it's widest moods. She is mother
less and has been brought up by her
father "who has no use for larnin." "GIl-
bert Dean" naval officer on whose
family estate Peggy" lives, is in love
with her, but pride prevents him from
seeking her as his wife his love at length
overcolues his pride, and in the denou
ment Peggy" is found To be the real
owner of the Dean estate by the discov-
cry of certain papers belonging TO her
mother The play suffers in comparison
with Miss PiXley's other productions.
The construction is fiimsey, lacking in
dramatic interest ana literary merit.
The scenery is new and effective and there
are one or two pretty songs. Miss Pix
ley's personality carries the play, but in
spite OF this fact, it is doubtful If it proves
much of a success. III is well cast and the
actors make the most OF the parts as
signed them. A large audience apparently
enjoyed the performance. The cast was
