Miss Ullie Akerstrom as the initial
character I'm Miss Rora" at Keitb's $
Opera house made many friends at the
opening of her weeks acting last
night. The play of Miss Rora," 4"
while devoid in most places of
heavy dramatic action, is very
pleasing and perfectly modern play. The
author does not claim for this creation
the attribute of heaviness. 1t is the
simple story Of a Western girl. reared
and nurtured among the rough, but
humane environments OF min-
ing town. She has absorbed much
OF the exterior unconvsntionality
OF her Western associate, but the grace,
vivacity aud sympathy OF Ler nature has
not been impaired. When she finds her
self transferred to "A Southern plauta ion
among new faces, new manners and new
temperaments, she is at less at
with her new reiatious, but the fner ele-
ance. Miss Akerstrom is not singer,
but her dancing is par excellence; her
equal has sci ION been seen IN tho CITY,
sue is light and graceful as a
fawn and cuts u pretty figure on
horseback. Her suppors Is good. j. X.
Appleby, Jr., the planter, is "a typical

aud John Il. brennan, colored panta-
tiou hands and servants, are commend
able examples Of the Southern planta-
tion annex. Mr.. Brennan, ia his double
capacity OF Chinaman aud negro SER
want, shows considerable versatility.
Miss Akerstrom Will play during the
entire week.
