Act ~ in Alabama

with the old war bitterness still ranking in
bis breast, objects 10 the union OF the two
young people on sectional grounds. They
plan to elope. but Captain Davenport inter-
feres and prevents it. The old planter,
however, is made to believe that his grand
daughter has run away with the young
NoTtherneT. With one or two exceptions
the cast is the same as before, and the same
style and business are preserved; IN tile
reading the same soft, subducd utterance,

thrilling scenes, melCdramatic situations
aud deciamatOry speeches. But, neverthe-
less, it finds The heart out, If there be one
to discover. Almost all the people in Ala
bama" are lovable. One of the new faces
in the cast is that of Mr.. Frank Carlyle. He
plays Captain Davenport, the part Maurice
Barrymore formerly essayed, aud, in our
opinion. more effectively than did the Eng
fish actor; perhaps 1t is because Car
Iyle is deeper imbued with American
spirit. Mr. Z. NJ. Holland is still the
Talledega lawyer IN whose heart sentiment
is superior 10 law; he is an cider Colonel

such. but he still milks that Nandyke beard
OF his with the same reaSSuring fondneSs as
of yore, and has the same devotion for the
fair sex Mr.. J. 81. St0ddart is q power as
Colonel Preston. the old planter; but after
all, the man that gees directly home TO the
audience is Squire Tucker (Mr. Charles L.
HaTTisl with his simple ways but manly
principles. Mr.. Walden Ramsey makes a
good lover in his scenes with Carey Preston.
1t is q pretty and natural contrast-the
Straightforward Northern man dealing with
the shy but Iovable Southern wild flower
afraid almost of the new story her heart is
telling her. All The women in the cast are
soft in manner and speech and subjective as
most Southern women are, but those who
personate Mrs. Page Miss Jennie a. Eus-

MRS new fIeys
"Woman's Eyes" from the pen Of Mrs.
Genevieve Cox Bancroft, was offered for
the judgment Of press and public at the
Stoekwell last evening. There was large
attendance, but candor compels the state
ment that the play is not worth the trouble
SO many people took to seeit The authoress
ought to have submitted her work to the
criticism and revision Of some competent
people, and the reader Of the theater, If
he himself did not feel confident to
give an Intelligent opinion on it's
merits, ought to have advised Mrs.
Bancroft to this course. AS Ii is, she has
presented to US a composition that is not
really worth serious consideration with any
point OF art In view. 1t appears to have
been written for the sole purpose of en-
aiding Miss Jeffreys Lewis to assemble all
the ocular bits from ''La Belle Russo"

STARTERS of that nature. with which this
actress has made her reputation. There
are the same methods pervading the
impersonation of La Belle Helene
as characterize the principal females in the
plays mentioned, and the lines have the
same rlng-the same defiance of coDven-
tIonal restraint, the same ineon5eQuential
and illogical appeals against the laws by
which society seeks to protect Itself against
adyenturesses aud conscienceless women

does her usual business in the usual
