"The Hoop of Gold,' as played by the
EIdridge- Hallett Company at the Clunie
Opera-house, is full of melodramatic
scenes and sensational situations. In
one scene an Illuminated bridge is
shown, from which a, sensational plunge
| is made. It is a very handsome scenic
and mechanical effect. The actors are
all at their best Craig, as an old man,
/ is faultless; Miss Muffin, as the perse-
cuted heroine. has appeared in nothing
better, and sinks self in the part-the
/ highest achievement of dramatic art;
/ Miss Gassman, Mrs. BelmOur, Mr.. Ed
ridge and Mr.. De Vault have the comedy
parts and fill them eXcellently; MIR. Hal
| lett is the villain who still pursues her,
and Mr.. Plummer is his accomplice in
rascality The action is rapid, spirited
| and full of sensational incident, around
which circle the fates of Mr.. Montserrat,
the hero, who is the victim of jealousy
! and drink: of Mr.. Brewer, who is the
unhappy fellow who always gets into
trouble by interference between man
and wife though his purpose is pure
and his motive honorable. The piece is,
in short, high order Of the BOwery SEN
sation, without Bowery coarseness or a
single unclean sentence. On the con-
trary, ii is an appeal for honesty, So
briefly and truthfulness.
