: 'ALABAMA.n ?
Augustus Thomas Masterpiece to Be Pre- sented at the Opera-House
 Monday Night

Beautiful Alabama" will be pre- .sented at the Opera-house next Monday night. This is welcome news for our theater-goers, who re- tain many pleasant recollections oi Alabama. The scene, the sen tfment. the surroundings of Ala bama," are all of the South after the war The entire action is out oi doors. The play is poetic, refined
 simple and full of delicate tenderness
 There are no blood and thunder parts, but the story told is interest ing. The mild beauty of it's senti- ment by it's very novelty and truth touches the hearts of the audience and holds it spell-bound It is a play that comments itself to the educated and thinking people of the North and South alike. It's treat ment is of that tender and humane character that appeals alike to all natures. The truthfulness and sin ,erity of spirit blot out all thought of sectionalism. Mir. Thomas is the first dramatic author to catch the dreamy fancy of the South without doing violence to the natural senti- ment and humanity of that region. Alabama has, it is said, all the quaint delicacy of a pastoral, vet deals faithfully with fact, it's poetry being the simple expression oi genuine character. The characters have been living, loving, suffering, hoping, despairing for many years. When the curtain shuts them out oi one's sight their life is not finished. These various characters will live for many years ill the memory of every one who sees the beautiful play. Fol lowing is the company: Frank C.
 Bangs, John J. Pierson, Clement Bainbridge, Charles Moore, Bingley Fales, George B. Miller, Edward Maas, Helen Corlette, Inez Knowl
 ton, Ethel Irving and Emyline Barr

 The ablest critics of the East and South, where the opera has appeared this season, claim Miss Morton to be far superior to either of her prede- cessors in the leading soprano role, Marie Tempest or the late Laura Schoimer Mapleson.
 So great has been her success in the part that the company has been playing to standing room only" in each and every city it has visited since it's first week out.
