THE CORBETT ENTERTAINMENT

The operahousewas packed Wednes-
day night, both main fiOOrsand gallery.
Among those present to see the
famous modern gladiator, Corbett,
were many from neighboring towns,
and among the audience was fair
sprinkling of ladies. The company is
good one, and the specialties excel
lent. The Danish warblers received
an ovation. The plot of the play,
gentleman jack" contains good
deal of athletic sport, and is different
from the ordinary line of plays in that
respect. The fourth act represents
Corbett's training apartments, and
the fifth act represents the interior of
the Olympic Club house at New Or
leans, where the great Sulliyan-COr-
bett fight took place.
OF course, everybody went for the
purpose Of seeing Corbett, and he was
the center of attraction. He takes a
prominent part in the play and is the
hero. The plot is such that he is
spared the physical suffering that
usually falls to the lot of the hero
during the early part Of the play, and
the feelings of the audience are not
wrought upon to the usual degree. In
the third act he progresses from the
college amateur and the bank clerk to
a gentleman amateur" and teaches a
class in the manly art. The civilian
still persues him" and brings over an
Englishman to defeat him but COrbett,
after show of reluctance to fight, is
finally driven to accept his challenge
in defense of the good name and re-
nown of the American fistic art. This
enlists the sympathy Of the audience
and creates great enthusiasm. The
fourth act shows Corbett in training
and his magnificent work with the
pounding bag. The attempt to poison
him is frustrated. The fifth act
shows the prize fight and COrbett's
victory. Two short rounds Of sparring
are gone through with. Throughout
The play love affair is of course in
terWOVen.
Corbett's magnificent physique was
the admiration of all present. His
arms were not as large as might have
been expected, but his movements
were quick and his eye steady. He is
not a great success simply as an actor
but any defect iD this regard is lost
in the elimination of the play. The
sparring in the play exhibits the
forms of the prize ring, though not
the brutality of the real sport.
! During the course of the play Cor
beJt is asked whether pugilist can
be gentleman, and replies that he
can be one at heart. It is question
whether the adding of the refinement
which Corbett unquestiOnably does, to

no great responsibilities after the days

the headquarters in some town, where
they are properly lodged and fed. The
emperor usually gives a dinner every
