At the Grand Opera House. on Wednes-

nature reflected in the lives of rural hui

Is the atmosphere which surrounds this
play that the theater and its associations
seem to fade away and the auditor feels
that outspread before him are the lives and

the curtain falls with painful reminder that
after all it is but a play, and that these
old friends of a moment before are but the
creations of a master playwright and skilled
performers, who have succeeded in holding
the mirror up to nature.
Mr.. Herne has defied all technical ORA

OF the many novel scenes the author has
introduced in this Maine pastoral, none
have attracted so much attention as the
finale of the last act. For fully six min
utes the stage is held by Uncle Nathaniel,
who, after closing the doors, fixing the fires
and preparing the house for night in a real

Beginning with to-morrow's matinee, the
Park has a strong scenic production of a
highly sensational order. called "The Snug
glers., The piece, which is new here,
abounds in exciting incidents and realistic
scenery, among them being a view of a
ship on fire at sea, an escape from prison
of the hero, assisted by the heroine, and a
view of the smugglers' cave. The principal
character is Edith Lyndon, a young girl
who is ignorant of her own parentage. She
is a wait rescued from the sea, and has
been adopted by a family named Lyndon.
Edith has given her promise to marry Ste
phen Lyndon, her adopted brother, but her
heart is given to Capt. Jack Hardy, an Off
Ger of the revenue service, stationed near
the small seacoast village which is her res
idence. Edith discovers that her betrothed
husband is a member of a gang of SNUG
glers, and this instigateS her to break off
her relations with him. Stephen carries
her off to the smugglers' cave whence she
In the ensuing fight Stephen is wounded

SrnuggleP chief, refuses to do so, and a
quarrel arises between the men, in which
Stephen is killed. Hicks places the blame
OF his murder on Hardy, and the latter is
sentenced to twenty years Imprisonment.
Edith rescues her lover from prison, both
making their escape in a small boat, which
drifts out to sea. They are picked up by a
passing steamer, on which the villain,
Hicks, happens to be. He accuses Hardy
of the murder, but is not believed. In order
to conceal his own guilt, he sets fire to the
ship, from which all of the passengers, how
ever, are rescued. The play ends happily
with the marriage of Hardy and Edith and
the punishment of Hicks.
On Thursday the bill will be changed to

drama by the same company, and which is
