minion by Mr.. Clay Clement and his
company. Mr.. Clement is q distinct
personality among the younger men who
are coming to the front on the stage.
This is very well seen in the play last
night. 1t is bold attempt to show the
contrast between the noblaeae oblige
OF southern life and the sturdy Rentle-
ness OF German gentleman. The con-
trast ia sufficiently marked, by reason
OF dialectic differences, to supply the
black and white consdered necessary
from an artistic standpoint.
Mr.. Clements new play has some
very excellent points, and they will be
reduced to system by the polishing
process OF time. 1t is not too much to
say that it has the elements OF success.
This was very well shown by the very
enthusiastic reception given it by the
audience laet night. II waa disposed to
be critical at first, but towarda the end,
the developments logically and ad-
mirshly led up to generous apprecia-
ton of the really delicate yet perfectly
pronounced humor OF comedy.
There ia something distinctly pleas
ant, which leaves q pleasant intellect
ual taste in the mouth, in MIR. Glenn
ent'a assumption OF the i6le OF the
Baron. 1t 10 dialect part. but that OF
an artist, and something not 90 familiar
as the horHe-play OF German dialect on
the American stage. The intellectual
ity, tempered with humor, of q Ger
man gentleman iii the idyllic life of the
south, was exquieitely given by Mr..
Clement, and his complete presenta
tion WAS very greatly enjoyed.
The company has several people who
aid the star in his pleasant impression.
Miss Beatrice Foltz was as sweet
southern flower in miss Flora May
Randolph" Gs can we'll be imagined,
and the Norman Randolph" of Mr..
Charles Kent was as delicate a bit OF
Characterization as has been seen on our
etage. Miss May Hillman is very sweet
and spirituelle, and in the sad part OF
Martha" excited much sympathy.
She possesses fire and enthusiasm that
fit her for roles of greater capabilities
than that OF the character which she so
skillfully presented last night.
There is very seldom 80 artistic an
old darkey on the stage IS Mr.. O'Mal-
ley's Napoleon Lafayette Randolph"
The company is one that will win
many lGurels on it's route, and in no
play of its repertoire will it win more
than in The New Dominion. The Bella
will be the play tonight, with Mr..
Clement as Matthias"

There was a splendid rehearsal of Pa
thence at Music hall last evening, and
if the performances on Friday and Sat-
urday evenings are as good there is a
splendid musical treat In store for those
who may attend. Mr.. Pyke seems TO
have the people under such perfect con-
troll that they 60 through their stage
business and singing with es much ease
and confidence as old time profession
els. The charming little opera will be
beautifully and characteristically cos
TUNED aud all the properties will be
new, handsome and appropriate. The
opera is exceptionally we'll cast and the
chorus strorg and tuneful. The per-
formance will surely be a most meri-
torious one and deserving of most liberal
patronage. The sale OF seats will COM
mence this morning, and it behooves all
those who intend going and want any
choice of location to go early, ae there
are about 400 seats already sold by the
members of the organization, who have
the privilege of exchanging for reserved
seats, so there Ia sure TO be big run on
the box Office during the day. The
