Laura Burt and "In Old Ken
lucky"

I'm Old Kentucky' will not soon be
forgotten by those who saw it here a
short time ago, and those who did not
witness it upon that OCCASION should
not miss the opportunity which is now
offered. Manager Lift has been pre-
vailed upon to bring it back for a
weeks engagement, which begins to-
night at the Grand. "In Old Kentucky"
enjoys the distinction of being the only
play produced in New York this season
that has made genuine hit. and the
success it has met with in tine leading
cities is the chief topic of conversation
among showmeD. 1t is probably no eX
aggeration to say that not in many
years has there been given to the
American public play that combines
so many elements of popularity and
Is so well calculated to satisfy
| public taste as it is today. "ln Old
Kentucky" is purely American above
all else. 1t deals in an interesting way
with the manners and customs of peo-
pie who have had representatives in
most of the great events of our history.
The chivalry of Kentuckians has long
been the proud boast of natives of the
Blue Grass state, and it may be said of
the author of this piece that he has sue
! ceeded i'll presenting in his compact
| and wholesome drama spirited and
stirring picture of Kentucky life. He
has given most exact dellneation. ami
mated, refreshing and true to the life
OF the scenes and the characters to
which he has devoted his talents. His
creations are of the simple and homeiy
style, types rarely seen upon the
stage, but which can be found in
abundance in Kentucky. Of their kind
they are genuine transcripts OF nature;
admirable genre pictures from life.
They exhibit all originality of concep-
ton and power OF execution rarely met
with IN the field of dramatic literature.
The story is intense from the beginning
to the end, never tagging in its energy
OF movement, nor in its interest. Its
chief claim to consideration is probably
its novelty, however. and the skilful
introduction of bits of Southern life.

darkies in the second act is an odd and
catching feature, and there are many
scenes and incidents characteristic of
life in the state wherein the story of
the play is laid. The representation of
the great Lexington race track
is one OF the most thrilling and
realistic pictures ever placed upon the
stage. Five Kentucky horses are used
in this scene, and they make a race that
will arouse the enthusiasm of men who
are horse men. Those who saw and
heard that remarkable pickaninny band
will GO again, for the playing and the
pOnderOus dignity of the diminutive
darkies is a feature so odd, SO novel and
so thoroughly good, that it will never
fade from the memory. Laura Burt'S

The character sketched Is in itself so
wholesome, SO genuine, so unaffectedly
good, and the sketch has been elabor-
ated into so perfect and complete pict-
ure that it deserves all the praise it has
received. At all events the play seems
to reach the sympathies of every one in
the audience.
The piece plays upon the sympathies
of the people as they never were before
by dramatic study. There is charm
to it which is said to compel admiration
as effectually as it eludes definition.
Full of human interest, it is a domestic

discipline and assistants in harmony
with the work being done. He then
considered his relation to the school
board, and successfully with the
teachers and scholars. It was es-
pecially valuable to the students
who are soon to become teachers,
and we regret that space will not
permit a more general review of the
lecture.
When asked the condition of edu-
catiOnal affairs at Little Falls. Mr..
Thatcher said that everything was
progressing most excellentIy and
tremendously. The teachers stand

interests of their schools.
"As to the school bOard,.I can un-
qualifiedly state that / have never
