The Portland daily press., 1896-06-30
McCuilum Theatre.

When Mr.. McCullum first made known
his intention of producing Mckee Ran
kin's startling western comedy drama,
the "Danites," he felt sure we would
see reproduction such as has never been
oxcslled in this part of tire country, but
when the curtain dropped on the last act
last night, after the first performance,
there was no person out of the entire
large audience that did not say it sur
passed even their greatest hopes. 1t was
performance that does both Mr. Nc
Cullum, his company, his scene painters
and carpenters the greatest credit. The
house was large which, of course, was q
great help to the mem bers OF the COM
pany, as they were very appreciative and
deservedly too, and bestowed unlimited
applause all through the entire PERFORM
ance. 1t would be doing an injustice to
the others, to mention any one member
or the company as being good, for there
was not man or woman IN the whole
cast who was not great. However, we
cannot refrain from speaking word of
praise for Miss Hall as Billy Piper, tho
pun OQbOfbbI, stuQ IL Is IL the
part was ever given stronger or more
pathetic rendition. She was simply the
character itself and won the hearts and
sympathy of every one in the house
Then again there was Mr.. Armstrong.
who, as Sandy MCGEE, the big-heartsd,
whole-souled man of that wild western
country. gave a faultless performance
which called for long and hearty ap.
plause. Mr.. McCullum as the Judge.
was right at home and he and Miss An
drews kept the audience in the best of
hu;nor. In fact the entire company is
at its best in the ''Danites,'' and those
who miss seeing it miss the greatest play
Mr.. McCullum has ever given us. The
scenery is magnificent, especially the first
and third acts, and reflects the greatest
credit on Mr.. Brooker. the scenic artist.
and Mr.. Carey, the stage carpenter.
In short the scenery in itself is worth
double the price of admission. Every
one should pay a visit to Stock kbridga's
and secure their seats early for the house
will surely be jammed all the week
DON'T miss it.

soul. Workingmen are actuated by the
Hrst law of nature, self preservation. 1t
is terrible fact that in this evening of
the 18th century the cheapest ommodity
of the world is human flesh and blood.
The world is full of mans inhumanity
to man.
The speaker called attention to the
many cases of starvation wages existing.
If q man attempts to oall attention to the
wrongs of labor, he is called an agitator
and demagogue, AS long as such
terrible conditions exist we can lay no
claim TO being civilized. 1.-The welfare
of all Is the duty of each" but greed and
gold are the reigning Gods of the hour.
Gold rules the world. The question of
mans standing is not what sort Of man
is he but how much is he worth? Man
hood counts for little, wealth for every
thing. A rich man goes free while q poor
man goes to jail.
The speaker paid his respects to the
courts, declaring while there were many
pure and upright judges, too many OF
them were under the control of the
H'SAeJ pUW6f. ne SCOTSO uHe CupfSlu6
for it's income tax de cision.
Mr.. Debs told the story of the Chicago
strike from the strikers standpoint, and
declared that the railroads were respon-
sible for the acts of violence and not the
strikers. declaring that the corporations
caused the trouble and laid il at the
