Los ANGELES THEATER. = O'Neill,
Washington, D. G., in which Daniel
Sully opened here last night, is by far
the best play he has ever had, and in
the title role be has better chance
for his specialty-the clean and clever
delineation of the high class Irish Amer
ican gentleman. The scene is laid in
Washington. D. c.. and the action 10
centered in and revolves about the
model of q cruiser, the creation of
O'Neill's brain and hand, in which the
motive power will be electricity. Senti.
ment and romance, Misunderstanding
and complications of various sorts keep
the acting brisk and interesting, and the
dialogue all through is crisp, natural
and witty. The scenes between Robert
O'Neill (Mr. Sully) and Daniel O'Con-
nell Sheridan (Chas. F.. Elbridge), who
are both Iriehmen with q royal brogue,
and lifelong friends, yet always ready
for spar. we're the raciest in the play.
Julia Phillips. good-hearted but
vain and egotistic young woman, who is
unconsciouely yet entirely irresponsible,
is type of one phase OF society in the
capital, and in Miss Sully's capable
hands the character receives it's due.
Miss Alice Irving plays Mrs. Agnes
Morton. the fascinating widow, with
much artistic finish. and the rest OF the
company are evenly good The play is
we'll staged and mounted, and the scene
in which the model is shown lighted
and working by electricity. was both
novel and picturesque. O'Neill, WASH
ington, d. g., will run the rest Of the
