other well filled house at the theater last
night. The play put on, however. was
not one well calculated to please a south
ern audience. The south has forever
turned its back upon the institution of
slavery At the same time II is not and
never will be- prepared to accept social
and sentimental equality between the
races. An octoroon heroine with a white
lover Is not the kind of thing for this
section of the country. Nor is it pleasing
to southern people to have almost impOs-
ible cases under the Institution of slav
cry, which their fathers supported, dra-
matized and presented to them as either
an amusement or a lesson in morals. The
play might do wen enough for Massa-
ehusetts, but it isn't the kind of play for
Georgia. 1t is called Louisiana. The
company would do well TO leave il out Of
the repertOry they viii play In Louisiana.
This criticism OF the play is not meant
TO reflect upon the company. The people
are all right, but the play was not of
the right kind. This afternoon a clever
and altogether unobjectionable comedy,
night Milton Mobiles famous and sterl-
ing old Phoenix Will be given.
The Princeton University Glee. Banjo
and Mandolin Clubs concert at Masonic
Temple tonight will be an event, both
unsteady and socially. The clubs are in
fine form this season and an entertain
ment of the highest order Is promised.
There is something peculiarly character
istic in a college glee club concert, and
something which one can not afford TO
miss. The Princeton musical organ!Za-
ton numbers over fifty men and all of
them appear together in several of the
selections. Noticeable among these are
the Triangle Song" Creole Love Song,
Gated to the Princeton clubs by Mr.. +. Il.
Smith, the author of the famous Creole
Love song. The following Is the make

announced in the Morning News yester-
day.
The engagement of Minnie Maddern
Fiske Christmas day, and the day after
Christmas, with Mr.. James Neill and a
strong company as her support, viii be the
next attraction following the Baldwin
Melville company's engagement, and will
be the only attraction at the theater dur
ing the week except the Music Culture
Club concert Monday night Mrs. Fiske
is under the management Of Messrs.
Henry Greenwall g. Co. Mrs. Fiske has
ing her brief retirement from the stage
New York, each time at a special per-
Torrance. 1t may be said, however, that
no actress during the last five years-with
the single exception of the Italian artistic,
Eleonora Duse-has caused so profound
sensation as Mrs. Fiske caused by these
rare performances. Greenwall & Com
pany have bought the American
rights of the new play by AL
phonse Daudet and Leon Hennique The
Queen of Liars, the adaptation of which
has been made by Harrison Grey Fiske.
This play-which will form the principal
feature of Mrs. Fiskes repertoire, Is the
strongest in story, the most powerful in
theme, and the most original in charac-
teriZation that the great French author
and his collaboration have yet given to the
stage. In addition the repertoire COM
prises several standard plays such as
Dolls House, FTou-Frou, Camille,
Claudes Wife, and others, of which oc-
casional performances are given.
