THE New South" is proving its power
to please in the South itself, as it has
already done in the North. st. Louis is
to be regarded as a Southern citv and
there the play has been most enthusiasts
tically received. One of the critics of
that city says: THE story of The New
South has been woven together in deli
cate and powerful manner-a SPIDERS
web with cords of steel. 1t presents new
phases of character and new motives for
wrongful action. In fact, The New
South Is new, and the miserable old
style plantation characters have in it
given way to types that mean something
and stand for the same. Joseph Grismer
as the hero and Miss Phoebe Davies did
strong and painstaking work that was
really fine and artistic. They must be
admitted into the best class of American
actors" From another the following is
quoted: TOO much praise can not be
given to Joseph Grismer and Miss Phoebe
Davies for their work in The New
South at the Olympic this week. The
company is almost perfect. 1t is one OF
the late productions that is truly devoid
of all the rant and play-for- effect in
dramas that are touring as first-class pro-
auctions at present. 1t is better than
Shenandoah and will live even as 'The
Old Homestead has lived"
