The Sunny South is picture O
life below the late Mason and Dixol
line, and gives an idea Of darkey toll
and amusements. Probably it will
prove to be an attempt to incorporat
negro minstrelsy into the drama, jus
as Nellie McHenry undertook to in

dances, colored sketches, cake walks

material usually belonging to thu

". S. Gilbert's solemnly ridiculous
satirical comedy Engaged" is the bill
to be given at the Grand Opera house
next week. 1t is piece which. when
well done affords delicious provender
for fine minds, and that it will be well
done by the players at the Grand, goes
without saying. The things which con-
tributss most largely to the humor of
the play and to the indescribably droll
effect Which is produced, is the appar-
ent sins1rity and earnestness of the
characters, who are continually ut
terinS speeches with the utmost depth
Of feeling, which, when analysed by
the Intelligent hearer, are found to be
of tremendous ludicrouS nature.
Some have thought that such fine
satir. might be lost on the audience
and go over their heads, but Manager
Rogers says he knows his audience
better than that and is certain of the
keenness of their judgme Mt. The lead
ing part. that of Cheviot Hill, q rich
and stingy young Scouchman, has been
assigned to Mr. Harry CorSOn Clarke.
This Will be the first occa sion on which
that effective young comedian may be
seen without a wig, and in his natural
lace ami 10 doubt many Of his 40
mirers viii avail themselves of this
opportunity to behold him in an aspect
which is familiar only to those who
know aim in private life. In the play
Cheviot Hill has one great weakness.
It lies in his extreme susceptibility to
female charms. and he falls an easy
and willing victim to every woman he
meets. Mr. Howard Kyle will appear
as Belvawney. "a radiant being" who
has a most beautiful way of expressing
himself. and who is greatly given to
making the most Of his remarkable tai
ents in that direction. Mr.. Kyle, whose
rnelodious voice and exquisite reading
have charmed everyone who has heard
them, should make a Belvawney in
whom the author might recognize his
ideal conception of the part. Mr.. Cecil
LIMESTONE re-enters the cast again as
Symperson. whose daughter Miss
Leigh is one of several ''engaged'' n
Cheviot Hill. Mr.. Hugh Ward viii
