Hearts, which was produced at Miners The
atre last night. After the curtain fell the
entire company was called before the foot
lights and the applause was deafening. The
play was carefully staged. 1t tells a story
of life among the hills of Arkansas, which
thrilled its hearers from beginning to end.
Mr.. Reid, as Tom Logan, the hero, played
the part with convincing naturalness and a
commendable freedom from rant. Miss Bertha
Belle Westbrooke, as Jeanette, the adven-
turess, was very effective. The rest of the
cast was most excellent. The leading epi-
sodes Of the play were most heartily APP

MusIc.

Music.
SHAT sNes-~2sis thrilling melodramatic
7pFodaeHon gtafi efnt createa something OF a SEN
sation last season by reason Of its new and
novel electrical effects, will be seen at the
Academy of Music next Monday. The play is
one of the strongest and most virlle melo-
dramas seen in recent years and was re-
ceived everywhere last season with great
favor. The theme is a most attractive one,
the story concerning the life of a young cleo
tricaI engineer, whose struggles and yinissi-
tudes encountered III the every day life Of
the practical electrician are most wildly and
deftiy portrayed by the dramatIst. One
underground regions of Pennsylvania-the coal
mining districts-where the gloom and shad-
ow are only broken by the faring torches of
the miners as they. work and toll far be-
meath the daylight and sunshine.
Some of the most dramatic episodes of the
play occur ia the great mine scene. A vivid
coal mine is given and an insight into a
phase of life of which only faint ideas are
current among the vast majority who are
not fated to toll in the bowels of the earth.
Another strong scene is that depicting the
electrical workshop of the hero, showing how
electrical experiments are conducted and CIV
ing the audience some definite nformatio
and a practical demonstration of the mani
fold uses of the MISUNDERSTANDING.
Later on the spectators are treated to one
of the most realistic and natural electrical
storms ever produced for a stage effect
By new and ingenious electrical contri-
vances, the audience sees a wonderful re-
production of a storm with all the omp
ments of thunder, lightning, wind and rain.
In comparison, the stage storms we have been
accustomed to see are but feeble attempts.
The play abounds in situations Of intense
power which hold the attention Of the spec
tator throughout by a succession Of stirring
events and exciting incidents. The story is
a graphic picture of a phase of American
life that offers abundant material for the
and as treated in 'sShaft No. 81 APP
peais forcibly with its strong human interest
to all lovers Of clean and wholesome Ameri-
can DRAMA and consequently to the great
rank and file of theatre-goers.
As a scenic production it ranks among the
foremost attractions now before the public.
Elaborate and massive scenery for every act
Is carried besides a complete electrical plant
and much new and ingenious machinery for
the production of the wonderful effects. The
cast is headed by that forceful and success
ful actor, Mr.. Frank Losee, whose creation
Of the leading role of the young electrical
in the play is spoken of as a most
finished piece of work. Hc will be ably sup
ported by Miss Marion Gilmore and a power
ful company under the management of Jacob
Lift.
