This play attracted a very good house

IL is quite pleasing. The plot Is based on
the well-known escape Of Federal pri-
soners through the famous tunnel which
was dug under the cellar OF Libby Prison
during the war, and the author has COM
piled a very sensational drama from
that very sensational episode. The only
objection TO the play from Southern
standpoint is that, as they all do, IL

ing an ardent Southern woman fall so
desperately in love with a Yankee officer
as TO be willing 10 turn traitor 10 the
Southern cause in order to effect his re-
lease from prison.
These features OF the play are objec.
tionable because they tend 10 belittle the
Southern and aggrandize the Northern
character. outside OF these. however, the
drama Is strong and entertaining, and Is
creditably given. Each member OF the
