"The Nominee" which Nat Goodwin
will present at the Providence Opera
House next week, was adapted from the
French and Americanized by it's present
authors expressly for Mr.. Goodin. 1t is a
high farce comedy with q consistent plot.
Its sole object, however, is to excite laugh
ter, but by thoroughly legitimate meth
DDS. The idea of the piece Is an amusing
one, decidedly original and most cieverly
sustained. The lines are crisp, bright and
witty to an exceptional degree. and the
business, all of which was supplied by
Mr.. Goodwin, himself, is relevant and in
charming concord with the play. Every
one knows nearly nowadays what to ex-
pect from Goodwin in any play where he
has an opportunity. In "Ihe Nominee"
he has a full and unlimited scope Years
ago, while upon the burlesque stage, he
achieved q widespread reputation as a
remarkably funny man and as n mimic.
To-day he appears before US, having de-
veloped into an admirable comedian, who
knows the rudiments of his art thorough
ly, n his good taste Is ever conspicu-

welcomed In this city than Nat Goodwin.

Lord ~Cholmondeley.

The wise men have said that the con-
sensus of public opinion is always just,
and history proves that this may be true.
IL +. II. Suthern's presentation OF Lord
Chumley" were to be criticised according
to this standard, there would be no
doubt Of the judgment. An over
flowing audience last evening sat
under the spell of his artistic
acting and signiled by its unstinted APP
plause that its opinion was one of hearty
approval. The piece in itself Is a strange
combination Of the pathetic and humor-
Gus, which appeals to all classes of people
and shows under an exterior Of oddities
there is frequently found . heart Of sterling
worth. It is a particularly difficult part
for any one to attempt, but its limos arc
all the more effective when presented in
an intelligent manner. Mr.. Sothern was
fully equal to the task required Of him,
however, though at times Il was not diff
cult to distinguish that the lines which
appealed to him most was where true
nobility was depicted. One could laugh
with him easily at the ludicrous
Incidents, but one could feel sympathy

their candidates in FIVE formerly carried

was announced today is Rt. Hon. Sir
Richard E. Brewster, attorney general.
