THREE MOST POPULAR PLAYS.
In glanclng over these plays, you will
| doubtless note that the tragic and the
| emotional dramas were greater favorites
| than those Of the comic order. Many or
| the farces. Il is true, ran fairly vel, but
even the pet farce OF "Mr and Mrs.
White" reached only its nineteenth per-
Torrance.
Unquestionably the three plays best re-
ceived by the public were THE Nirg' MA
| Cavalier" THE Corsican Brothers" and
Macbeth" these beng the ones most
! frequently produced. / give below from
the Journal OF the period the dates at
| which these were presented, with the
number Of each performance so marked,
the condition OF the weather at the time
and the amount Of the nightly receipts.
II Is commonly thought that Captain
Alexander's Virginia Cavalier had a
run Of hundred nights. OF course, this
Is not a fact. However, IT was decidedly
the most popular OF all the wartime
niavz Of whatever class. The receipts
took a Jump whenever 1t was set on the
boards. From the appended tables you
will see that during the period between
rs first and last representation It was
produced eleven times oftener than
Macbeth" and fifteen times oftener than
The Corsican Brothers"
THE VIRGINIA CAVALIER.
