presentation of the eomedy-drama called
Gentleman jack" Saturday evening. Nav
Goth, from the fact that the star in this play
is James J Corbett. Since this young Her
cules' memorable triumph last September Mt
New Orleans, he has conducted himself in
manner deserving much commendation, and
carved for himself a respectable place upon
the stage by earnest effort and conscien-
tious attention to the requirements Of the
part he impersonates in the ahove-named
play. Unlike other men who have shown
their powers to excel and their superior
physical development. who have appeared
upon the stage, Corbett has gone about
things in more rational and business-like
manner. Instead of appearing in any sort
of an excuse for play, in which he might
show himself, he secured the services of one
of the most experienced playwrights,
Charles L. Vincent, and had the dramatist
weave an interesting comedy-drama around
much of the story. of Corbett slife. He next
secured an unusually capable company 10
support him. and had the play dressed in
the most suitable scenery and other environ
nents, and named i Gentleman Jack
