1.-THE New South drew a fine audi
ence at the Metropolitan Theater last
night, and Mr.. Grismer and Phoebe
Davies had very fattering reception,
amounting almost to an ovation. mani
tested by repeated calls and sincere ap-
plause. The company is strong; there is
no weak material in it. The play is neatly
mounted and we'll played throughout.
Scott Cooper's veteran Confederate Sen
eral is the best thing he has ever done; it
is more than clever characterization; 1t is
fine art. Miss Davies we have seen in
many more trying parts, but in none
more dignified and womanly. She en-
acted the role of the heroine with the
spirit and feeling she throws into all her
dramatic work. Mr.. Grismer left moth
ing to be desired in the part of Captain
Ford. Miss Vining, the soubrette,
was saucy, big hearted, spoiled girl in
teens, full OF anima al spirits, quick witted
and free, and carried the comedy OF the
story admirably. It is a we'll told tale,
full of human interest. There is more OF
dialogue than action, but the dialogue at
no time becomes wearisome, for it either
sparkles with neat repartee and wit, or it
excites the liveliest interest because of the
romantic story it tells. The play hinges
upon the law of Georgia that permits the
Governor to farm out the State convicts
to contractors. 1t involves two pretty
love romances, political conspiracy, an
assassination and the holding OF an inno-
cent man in the tolls of circumstantial
evidence 1.-The New South" will be re-
peated tonight. The troupe does not
leave the city until tomorrow forenoon,
so that there will be no abridgement OF
the play by the need to rush to catch
night train.
At the Clunie Opera-house tonight
BARLEY Campbelrs sensational play,
1.-THE White Slave" Miss Dalgleish, the
new leading lady, has already won the
favor of the audiences and promises to
be very popular with the opera-house
patrons.
Manager Todd will save actresses
nervous shocks and audiences much
embarrassment if he will muster courage
to retire the dropsical sofa that is trotted
onto every stage setting at the Metro
politan. 1t is the source of annoyance to
the people of the stage and is ami eyesore
to theater-goers. Times are hard, but
not enough so to apologize for that pot
bellied bit of furniture that threatens to
floor every actor who tackles it.
