Morosco's Theater.

ga Man Among Men," which received its
first San Francisco production at Morosco's last
night, is a highly sensational drama, the inter-
est of which hinges on "The Tally SYSTEM
that is paying miners in kind instead of in
money.
Fred s. Butler, Morosco's villain, having ap-
parently repented of his ways, blossomed forth
last night into "the man," and made a yery
good hero. AS superintendent of the mine he
sees the misery of the men and urges improve
ment and greater precaution on the directors,
who, however, disregard his warnings of
danger. The upshot of this carelessness is an
explosion in the mine in which several men
are killed.
W. l. Gleason gave very successful interpre-
tation. of the miserly director, who, in spite of
his advanced age, makes love to the heroine,
Miss Hall.
In the third act the smelling furnaces are
seen in full blast with the puddlers at work
manipulating the molten metal. The dissatisfac-
ton of the men eliminates in an attack on the
obnoxious store, where the women have taken
refuge. Morrow, the superintendent, defends
the store, and falls pierced by a bullet
"a Man Among Men, is the most exciting
melodrama that Morosoo has mounted for some
time, and it is well acted by an efficient COM
pany.

THE PLAYERS COLUMN,
Good Performance of "Cap-
tain Swift" Given by
FraWley.
Original BalletS In "Humpty-Dump-
ty"-"Dorothy" at the
TiVoli.

Daniel Frawley made distinct hit at the
Columbia Theater last night by his imper-
sonation of Captain Swift in Haddon
Cham bers' play of that name.
Swift is notorious Australian bush
ranger, who, being "wanted" by the police
for series of desperate deeds, returns to
England under an alias, and falls in love
with his cousin, who has not the least idea
of his identity. Frawley played the role
with GOODNESS and ease. There was no
blunder about his Swift, and vet he sue
ceeded in making his audience feel that
his GOODNESS sprang from the recklessness
of the man who gam bles with fortune.
In the conservatory scene and also in the act,
he showed touches of genuine feeling, which
were thoroughly in keeping with his artistic
conception of the character as whole.
Hudson Liston was good as the pompous old
Mr.: seabrook, and II. D. Blaekmore was natural
and effective as the love-lorn Harry, while
Frederick Tjader gave careful character study
OF the role of Bates. The ladies, although ex-
ceptionally well gowned, were not at home
in their parts as the men. Miss Phosa Meal
lister as Mrs. Seabrook, however, did excellent
work in the conservatory scene, where she ac-
knowledged herself to be Swift's mother. Miss
Blanche Bates archness, though pretty, was
a trifie overstudied, and Miss Jennie Remark
was almost, too conscientiously precise and
careful in her Interpretation of the warm
hearted Stella. She looked charming how
ever, and her enuneiation was tellingly clear.
All the minor roles in Captain Swift" were
well played and the play was excellently
staged.

to say something of the pleasure it gave,
 especially among the old friends who are
 ever ready to note every little step to-
 ward progress But Sunday she took no
 tiny step, but grand stride, with the
 American eagle at the helm. Everybody
 who wishes the progress of Alabama feels
 an inward joy in the progress of this,
 the leading state paper. I trust the Age Herald will not be.-too modest to print
 all the bright sayings from the press.
 This is an age of prying which would once have been considered vulgar, but time makes changes, and now to know all about everything is the order of the day; and the Sunday paper gave so much of
 the home life of the Age Herald, itsAdif- ferent training and trimming before it went out on it's mission of usefulness. We even had the pictures of faces of some of
 its best workers. All had great attrac- tion and added much to the interesting features of the great daily.
 Ii is said that the req ling public is un- duly eXacting; when an author strikes twelve they are holding an expecting ear to hear the thirteenth stroke. Not wait ing or expecting anything like this in the Age-Herald. I felt Sunday while reading the paper like one of the lot of small children who had dyed all the eggs she wished, and sat down by table viewing the many bright-colored eggs.
 She exclaimed "I wish Easter would come every Sunday; don't you, mama?"
 Well, was at least glad that we had
 been blessed with this one, so sunny and bright.
 Since I commenced writing Wednes- days edition has been brought in and I find that Alabama news is given prefer
 ence-another good feature. Let us have
 lots of Alabama reading. We have
 big state, well populated with very good
 people, and let us hear from them and of them.
