Islands Across the Sea" at the Gaiety.

"Hands Across the Sea- is tho attrac-
tion at the Gaiety Opera House this week.
At the first appearance of this play in
London in 1855 at the Princess Theatre it
was received with much favor by the the
atre-going public. and has never let go its
strong hold. One critic said: 1T was
granted that il all the incidents were not
new the dialogue was. The first, fourth
and fifth acts were the best, but the weak
ness of the other two was compensated by
these. Mr.. Pettitt may be complimented
for his work" This is in great measure
true in regard to the play as it was pre-
sented last night. The plot is not new.
1t is story of the wronged hero and hero
Inc and of the villain who, with the lesser
lights of villainy are at last foiled. But
the conversation Is new and bright
The cast, including twenty members, is
a good one. To mention the name of any
one who is worthy of special commenda-
tion would necessitate the mentioning of
the twenty. The stage settings and acces-
ories were very good. The deck of the 5.
s. Australasia" as shown in the fourth
act made a very fine scene. This was con-
structed for this production at a cost of
$1,000 from designs by G. B. jefferson.
Taking il altogether Hands Across the
Sea- Is we'll played and well staged. IL
will be seen every night at s during the
remainder Of the week with Thursday and
Saturday matinees at 2:l5.

.,AT THE PLAYH0USES.
Shenandoah at tho Providence.

No doubt great deal has been written
about shenandoah" !" but IL is worth say
ing great deal about, IL not for the act
ing, at least for the sentiment which there
is In the play. There is nothing III IL TO
iniure or degrade the mind and mnch to
inspire one with "a wholesome regard for
the people who fought the great fight for
American government The events, from
the bombardment OF Sumter to the re-
joicing in Washington over Lees surren-
der, are familiar to every one Of those who
was In a position to realize them at the
time and should not be allowed To escape
the attention OF those who were not.
The company which presented the piece
last night at the Providence Opera House
was good one. and some Of the work was
excellent. The love affairs between
Union and Confederate young people may
be regarded as sentimental, but there are
hundreds of old people DOW who know
something about that. Col. kerchival
West, as acted by Francis Carlyle and
Gertrude dillingham;, as acted by Lila
Vane, are the characteristic parts, but
Gen Haverill as Oscar Eagle presented il,
and Col. Robert Ellingham as Joseph
Adelman acted 1t, and Madeline West as
Mabel Dunlap acted ii. are also strong
parts.
There is deep sentiment also in the
part of Lieut.. Frank Bedloe, who was the
son of Gen. Haverill, and redeemed his
Buckthorn," Capt. Heartsease," and
'Sergt Barket" furnished most of the
fun with Jennie Buckthorn," as played
by Josephine Hall, always in the fore
ground.
or course it--all ended well when the
war was overland then, the villain,
Capt. Thornton" was killed, of course.
Tho signaling from Three Top mountain
and the cavalry trumpet signals were the
features of the piece besides the people.
The Sheridan on horseback was not very
successful.
