The performance entitled the "Land of
the Midnight Sun" is so called because its
most interesting scenes are laid in Ice
land. The "Land Of the Midnight Sun"
is a new play to Providence and the large
representative audience that was at
Keith's Opera House last night showed its
appreciation of the new features intro
duced into the telling OF an old story,
story OF love, jealousy, ambition and VII
lainy. The melodrama suggests the
Damon-P Pythias idea, but the final de-
votion OF stepbrothers and the self-sacri-
flee OF one is not the result of previous
intimacy but is contrasted with their
hatred OF each other that had existed
since childhood. The relations of these
brothers and the relation OF the heroine
to both make%he story OF the play, which
is lightened up from time to time by
pleasant comedy. To quote the words
of the program, 1t is a play OF
human interest, in listening to which
one is apt, very often, to ask
the question "what would you do under
the same circumstances? The scenery is
realistic and the stage work OF the fourth
act is very startling, introducing an ex-
plosion in the sulphur mines OF Krismirk.
The company is, as a whole, good one.
The author of the play, Mr.. Edwin Bar
bour, himself appears in the cast as Cap
tain Jollyweather, typical old sea-dog
who has been a smuggler, and is proud OF
it. Adolphe Lestina plays the role of
Sunlocks, one OF the brothers,
who goes from his friends
plantation i'm North Carolina to Iceland,
where the people,appreciative of his good
ness to them, make him their governor.
As ruler and afterwards as slave
in the dreaded sulphur mines,
he is equally good. The part
of the other brother, Jason Orry, is
well taken by Elmer Grandin. Eva Mount
ford, a pretty woman and good actress,
takes the part of Mazda Maitland, the he
roine, in an excellent manner, and Grip
tie Palmoni as Jergen Jergensen, plot
ter against the government, makes satis-
factory villain.

Black Crook" at the Providence
Opera House.

Twenty-seven years ago Providence
first saw "The Black Crook" IL came
direct from its great production In
Boston where it was the pioneer
in spectacular plays ana aro0,,a
spectacles that have delighted the eyes OF
millions by dazzling scenery, ravlshlng
costumes, shapely women ana skllliui
speciality performers. Ii has been presented
several other times since that hrst June
evening after which the city filled the
playhouse for a week. Shortly alter It's
first exhibition street urchins posed upon
corners aping the black melo-d dramatic
sorcerer and in imitation OF deep
dyed tragedy exclaimed There's blood
upon the face of the moon; our queens
in danger" From that day
to this the expression mas
been stock in trade, and when 1t came un-
expectedly last evening from demon In
green tights just before the Queen
in long white tights and wand came In
view memory logged back more than
quarter century when exactly the same
thing entertained the parents OF many OF
those filling the Providence Opera Houseto
standing room last evening. 1t was Just
the same old "Black Crook" who had
partnership with the devil ever SO many
wears ago. The same luckless
maiden and the same dauntless hero.
Demons and sprites, fairies and Amazons
flooded the stage, making spectacle
of dazzling briliiancy. Perhaps
it is just as well TO keep
opera glasses cased because too
near inspection might alright the
old timer He or she might recognize
a developed maiden Of '67 in the bal
let. No one will shiver with
Joy by contemplating the female ar
ray. But the costumes are stunning
and the grand ensemble is impressive
and particularly pleasing to the view.
The grand ballet introduced three re-
markably accomplished dancers, Mile.
Staccioni, Mile. Emilia Bartoletti,
and Signor Bisncifiori. No
better exhibition has been seen here for
long time, The grotto of Stalacta was
brilliant scene occupying the
whole extent of the stage and
the big company filled 1t
with a gorgeous array OF animated color.
The specialties introduced in the ballet
of popular airs were all first class and in
cluded nearly all those seen in the
Boston production. The drama part OF
the spectacle was interpreted by per-
formers OF average ability and "The Black
Crook" in its entirety may be re-
garded as good as promises led
visitors to believe it was. AT all events 1t
provides enough to engage an evening 8 at
tention because OF its stunning bigness.
1t will be presented all the week.

Lothrop,s Opera House.

Old favorites are punched together this
week in the stock company at Lothrop's
Opera House. Barringer heads the cast
which revels in an old fashioned melo-
drama entitled "Punished at
Last" Perils by land and sea
are numerous, but the victims of viii
lany like time honored victims in melo
drama come out at the big end of the horn
just before the curtain goes down for the
last time. This pleases everyone and sends
them away with desire to be good even
IL the reward is not so great in real
life as il is in the play.
Nearly gil degrees OF drama, melo or
unripe, have interesting stories full of
blood stirring situations and wonderful
escapes, and FURNISHED at Last" is no ex-
ception to the rule. IL anything 1t is a
little more interesting than usual and

Arlington.

The people OF Arlington have acquired a
reputation for sociability that is we'll de-
served. Hardly an evening passes
without its accompanying social
events. The Arlington Improve
ment Society and tho motermen
and conductors have contributed
their quota all through the winter. Now
with the advent OF spring comes a new
form OF social dissipation. Uusually the
annual house cleaning is looked upon
with horror by the good housewife, while
the man OF the house is filled with de-
spair. All of this Is saved TO the
fortunate resident OF Arlington. In
-stoad OF weeping and wailing the
air is filled with music and Joy.
Mr. and Mrs Frank r.. Bacon. OF Dyer
avenue, can attest 20 the truth OF the
above as about 80 Of their ncighbors and
friends called on them the other evening
and helped 90 finish their house
cleaning in royal style. The even
ing was spent in whist, music and dane
ing. A substantial lunch was served.

Providence, IL; Pawtucket, ..
Yesterday was perfect day for base
ball and the 500 spectators who went out
10 the park to see how easily the Provi-
dence nine could defeat the
with the game. In view of
the fact that this was the first time that
the visitors had appeared on the diamond
as club they put up an excellent game.
Opening with Habens and Ivory as battery,
the Pawtuckets soon substituted their coll
ored pitcher, Robinson. He was very erratic
in the box, sometimes showing consider
able science, as when he struck out three
men in one inning, but at other times he
was so wild that he was at last sent back
to left field and Fournier took his place.
1t was from him that the home team OBJ
tanned its only earned run.
The Providence clnb also played its
three pitchers, its new battery, Davis and
King being used in the last three innings.
They made an excellent showing, the
scores being made possible by the peculiar
playing of Cooney, Murray, Bassett, Petit
and Stricken, who first got tangled up to-
gether under difficult fly and then began
TO throw the ball over each others heads.
The score was:

In Brooklyn yesterday Pitcher Daub
was chiefly responsible for his clubs de-

he made wild pitch aud let in two runs.
In the ninth inning, with two men out,
Treadway on third, Daub hit to right
