A Dramatic Novelty at the Mid
winter Exposition.

Mr.. Richard FOOte, an itinerant actor known
from one end OF the State to the other, and
liked and patroniZed wherever known, has
Joined forces with James II. Love IN the "'49
Mining Camp Company" one of the largest
concessionaires in the MIdwinter International
Exposition. On portion of the conceded
ground MIR. Foote proposes to construct tenn
porary thealeT, such as was used 10 some OF
the small mining camps in the early days
such. for example, as Joe Murphy and his
stranded colleagues erected in Iowa Hill in tile
fflles nd called the Banjalorum-and give
plays IN the same primitive fashion on candle
lighted stage that Edwin Booth gave them.
when, as a stripping, he transformed California
some forty-thTer years ago. Foote, by the
way. discovered in Angels Camp q good deal of
theatrical dislecta membra formerly used by
young Booth, even TO the bottles that took the
place Of stage eandlesticks. These he has care
fnlly gathered up, and in his improyIsed thea
ter during orr exposition viii eDdeavor TO re-
produce the conditions Of theatrical d rform.
aDce In the mountains as gwen by the rowing
young fragedian. who since that time grew old
soured with the world and has now passed be-
yond mortal ken. Foote intends to produce
hamlet a Ia Booth, for Booth played Hamlet IN
Angels Camp. although he was not much of an
actor at the time. IL is quite likely that Foote
Will make quite good Prince of Denmark
now as young Edwin did then, and so the illu-
sion Will be heightened In more than one parti-
eular. Altogether The idea OF '49 dramatic
restoration Is good one and Will no doubt at
tract visitors by the thousand. III no other end
be attained the mind of the modern tbeater-
goer Will realize the difficulties under which
pioneer California suffered in pursuit OF theat-
rical amusement, and be willing to bless bis
theatrical comforts and conveniences OF the
present DAY.

Murphy's Last Week.

For the wind-up or his very successful en-
gagement al the Baldwin Mr.. Joseph Murphy
VIII present the peculiar play called THE
DoDagh," written for him by Mir. George Faw-
cett Rowe, who is also The author OF BRASS" !;
he was we'll known in this CITY during his life
time. The cafcnliDe. "Fact I assure you," In
bis comedy. Brass" passed from the Bald.
WIN stage and became one OF the colloquial-
isms Of The street. Rowe's ability as play
writer was much better Than his talent as an
actor. In the "Donagh," which be wrote es-
pecially for Mr. Murphy, picture OF life In
Ireland, as II exists today among the gentry
and the peasantTy, is presented. The piece is
found on CafleioD's romance "The Donagb
or the HOrse-Stealers," and is strong drawing
OF peculiar phases Of existence in The Green
Isle. especially where tile original lawless ele-
ment Sill obtains. Vivid in description is the
tale OF the horsetheves, Denis and Anthony
MeehaD, brought 10 the test OF the Donagh or
Dona-as the casket was generally called
10 show their guilt or innocence on the
charge OF stealing Cassidy's horse. Ii is
remarkable example OF word painting
An Irish peasant makes light of an oath
on what he calls "the laws testament"
aud the more reckless even dare 10 slight "the
priests book" pretending to touch, but not
touching. the cover with their lips or hold the
volume IN such manner as to Kiss the thumb
instead OF the book. an evasion which, It is sup
posed, frees the witness person taking The
oatD from the responsibility of perjury. But
the Donagh Is, ia the average Irishman's eyes,
quite different and far more serious affair.
Perjury cannot be permitted with impunity
when this mysterious casket is In the question.
II is a comulete conscience trap. Whoever
swears falsely upon the Donagh will be visited,
according 10 the popular belief. with lremen-
dous punishment, either on the spot or twenty
four hours after the false oath is taken. Sud
den death. madness, paralysis, self-destrucIIon
or The murder of some one dear To them are the
marks by which perjury upon the Donagh is
known and visited.

50 Maine and Georgia in New York.

The battle. camp and prison scenes OF "Maine
and Georgia" remarks the New York Sun. are
graphic. and people with sense of humor. as
well as those who like noise and buster. are
sure TO derive great deal OF enjoyment from
them. There are TWO great acts in this play,
the first and the fourth, although the Sec
ond, which represents in a most grewsome
fashion the horrors OF Andersonville prison, is
one not likely TO be forgotten by those who see
salaried funny man of the company. and well
does he strive TO earn his reward, but great
deal of the merrment of the piece Is not con-
uDconsciously by the authors and the different
members OF the company. We aseribe it TO
more than one author, because "Maine and
Geoi gla' is not a new drama by Howard z.
Taylor. as advertised, but substantially That
Man From Maine" a piece acted III the West
some years ago, and then accredii ed TO harry
Meredith. When will the tinkering playwrights
learn The futility of such misrepresentation?

regular winter engagement in this city. The
consensus of newspaper opinion in all the
Eastern cities where the spectacle has been

OF costume, scenic and panoramic Investture

nary kind. As one factor the scenery
is said TO be gorgeous beyond descfIp-
tion. One paper striving to convey an
idea of the expensive changes maze
says the costumes are verlfable revel OF chro-
matte color. The dances recall the days OF
TaglioDi and Ellsler. The ballets are sumptu-
tous IN their appointments and unapproachabe
in rhythmic execution. The marine panorama
In the second act where the Columbus earavrls
are shown IN nearly lie size, followed by the

high achievement OF the scene painters art.
AnG all these fine things woven together
by an unctuous, comic, bealthfully funny Ara

song, and where Oriental civiliZlt tion and folk
lore come in amusing contact with some of the
salient featufes OF this material workaday
