Especial Chicago Correspondence
To many even of the most enthusi-
astic promoters of the worlds fair it is
a constant source of surprise to see how
the enterprise is growing far beyond
the original plans. The recognition
accorded to it by persons of weight
abroad is especially gratifying to them.
This applies more, Perhaps than any
where else, to the department of fine
arts.
It was admitted quite generally in
the early stages of the undertaking
that while in the industrial and com
mercial lines the Worlds Coluru bisn
exposition would probably surpass all
that had gone before, it would, of
necessity, lag behind others, and par
ticularly behind the great Paris ex-
position of 1889, in the fine arts ex-
hibit. The argument was that the
United States is a young country which
is occupied with building up its ma
terial prosperity and has not yet had
time to devote much of its energies to
those things which go to embellish life
and make it enjoyable in the higher
sense. That it would reach this stage
later on and was, in fact. entering on
it even in our day was, of course, un-
derstood But, for the time being.
there was no dispute that the stage had
not been reached when it could com
pete with the old world in the matter
of an art exhibit. and that our exPosi-
tion would suffer by comparison with
the one of 1889 which was held in the
capital of that country which stands
to-day, without question:, at the head
of the world of art.
It is all the more CRAFTY ing, in vic w
Of these circumstances, to see that the
fine arts exhibit promises to be among
the best of the entire exposition. In

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
Best Society Play on the American
Stage, Presented by Company
of High Class Artists.

That Incompatible Southern play,
"a ALBANIA" drew a fair Sunday night
audience 90 the Grand last night. There
would not be StandiHg room tonight, with
the weather favorable, for nothing ap-
preaching ii in sweet naturalness of incl
dent or representation has been seen here
this season. The plot is a simple one.
Ringing largely on the enlargement
of Col. Preston" an old Alabama
planter. and his son; the son being a
West Pointer who cast his lot with the
Union during the war. The story is
simple, just such a simple one as has had
its counterpart in a thousand cases, but
the manner Of its telling makes it the one
story of its kind. memorable above all the
estrangement stories of the war. There
is but one alabama" Its charm lies in
it's uDadorned naturalnesS: in the artistic
perfection to which it has been
brought, until all sense of art
is lost in nature. The whole move
ment Of the play is so smooth. so natural,
so necessary to itself that were it other
than it is its perfectneSs would be
marred. 1t is the old Alabama
planter and his environment TAX
en- up bodily and set down on
the stage. Long months of patient drill
have made its action perfect. The old
planter is there with all his old time
courtesy. warmheartednesSa and prejudice.

mistress of herself and her sur
rOundingS. taking wars reverSeS
with a strong lovingnesS that robs it of
its sting, and she is there as naturally, as
easily. as graciouSly as in her tiowery
home. The sweet southern girl is there,
modest as a daisy, quiet aud unobtrusive,
yet with all the deep love and dauntlesS
ness of heart that marks her race. The
old Confederate War Horse" too, and
the esquire" are there, and they live and
speak and act. not on the stage. but in the
naturalneSS of their every day appearing.
The son is there. also. at the last: calm,
strong, Self-reliant, somewhat sad
but manly tender and firm alike. There
is not harsh word or an unlOving onei n
the whole play, despite the deep preju-
dice that it reveals. 1t is a great play, has
had great success, is presented by first
class talent and should have a tirSt-cIaSs

If true human feeling sweetIy portrayed;
simple cOurtlinesS and grace eXquiSitely
expressed; pure womanineSS and native
southern chivalry: northern Sef-reliance
and vim-aud these are made to live and
breathe-if these constitute great drama
then is Alabama one. Such play could
only find its correct Interpretation in the
hands of first class talent.
