HANDS ACROSS THE SEA.
The Familiar Melodraina Presented at tn,
Opera House Last Night.

The Familiar MeiodraIna Presented mt the
Opera House Last Night.
"When you are in Rome, do as the
Romans do" and when you want to see a
melo-drama, pick out one that is melo-
dramatic. There can not be the slightest
doubt that this is the character of Islands
Across the Sea, which is running for the
first half of the week at the Pawtucket
Opera House. 1t would be rather. late
in the day to repeat the story of this play.
Almost everybody has seen 1t, and of those
who have not, nearly all are more or less
familiar with 1t from repeated description.
That 1t is strong plot, well conceived and
well worked out. there can be no question.
The company that are doing this week at
the local house is a good one, and the
audience of last evening were well repaid
for venturing out in rainy night.
Charley Merrill, when he came on as
Jack Dudley, got a hand Of recognition,
and kept his hearers with him throughout
the entire performance. Phil Stats, as
plucky Tom Bassett, reminded one 80
strongly, by his appearance, of genial Kit
Crocker, the dispenser of tickets at the
railroad station, that it was well nigh a
the oft-repeated inquiry as to ''when does
the next train start?" his pleasant answer
sin q half minute now, sir. have just
telephoned the conductor that you are
waiting. Yes, sir, all right, sir, one fifty,
please" The Bob Stillwood of Joseph
Damery was a "bad man from Badville," /"
andlreceived due acknowledgment of that
fact in the Kisses of the ''gods" more than
ence repeated.
The other male parts were in good
hands, and well cared for. Miss Ruth
Holt was very pretty Lillian Melford,
and some portion of her work was far
above the average. Lillian Burnham i'm
proved all her chances as Lucy, and Marian
Barnwell, as the gambling house keeper,
was villainous as that sort of woman is
generally supposed to be by those who
don't know from actual acquaintance how
attractive they usually are.
In the fourth act there is opportunity
for little speciality, and Phil Stats sang
good song with gallery accompaniment,
and Miss Burnham introduced what was
called "an imitation" of Anna Held. Miss
Burnham's song was all right, and her
"queering" of her friend, when she recog-
nized him in the front row was first-class,
but 1t was no more an imitation of Anna
Held than it was of Melba or Parepa- Rosa.
1t would be much better to let those things
stand on their merits, and Miss Burnham
has merit enough to make them stand
steady and firm. The scenery was appro-
pirate, and the same bill will run to We'd
nesday evening, including the usual
matinee.

RENDERED A RECEPTION.

The reception rendered last evening at

rel. The arrangements for the affair were

comment. 1t is believed TO be con-

Of the powers.
A dispatch from Domokos saws that
the heavy r-ins there prevent fighting.
The recall of the forces from Crete
has been received with resignation by
the public. The Delyannis organs at :
tack the government bitterly for ap-
pealing 10 Europe, but most of the pa
pers accept this as inevitable and vio-
lently attack the Ethnike Hetairia, ask
ing ii to render an account Of its action.
The Greek army now occupies all the
passes from Lake Xynias, south OF Do
mokos, TO Oura, on the east, the latter
point being occupied by General Smo-
lenski's brigade. Skirmishes have oc-
CURED at Flaka.
The Greek army has been compelled
to abandon Salagora and Fort Imaret,
the Turks having occupied the heights
commanding the latter.
On learning that the crown prince had
appointed his dismissed chief Of staff,
Colonel Sapoundzaki, and his aide de
camp, Captain Hadjipetro, TO the COM
mand of an artillery regiment, the gov
crnment has recalled both officers to
Athens. and ordered them to return i'm
mediately.
The real and only cause of the Greek
retreat to Pharsalos was the blunder
Of one who mistook the retreat of the
enemy for a forward movement, de-
signed to outfank the Greeks, and
therefore ordered hasty retreat.
Crown Prince Constantine left La
rissa because he believed the exag-
gerated reports of danger to his forces.
1t is fact, however that on the eve
idng of the retreat, Edhem Pasha, de-
spairing of breaking the Greek lines. had
ordered his army to retire to Elassora,
while the sultan had dispatched a spe-
cial commissioner to the Greek govern
ment with overtures of peace.
The state of the Turkish army at that
moment was simply pitiful, and terror
reigned at the yildiZ kiosk.
Almost the whole population Of Thes-
saly, numbering $4,000, has fed to the
nountains IN the west. Refugees fr- n
Volo, Pharsalos and the villages around
Mount Pelion have been transported to
the islands OF Skiathos, Skopelos and
Euboea. Forty-five thousand refuge rs
from villages along the coast are clam
Oring for food at Almyros.
