the author, was presented to a large and
appreciative audience at the New Grand

one this year, and is composed OF some of
the best talent on the stage. Clement
cambridge, as Captain Davenport; Fred
Mower, as Col. Preston; Merry M. Allen,
as Col. Moberly; L. p. Hicks, as Squire
Tucker, and Louis Shea, as Mr.. Arm
were all that could be desired In
their respective parts, n each received
hearty applause for the excellent manner
in which they interpreted the various
characters OF the play. Especial mention
Is due Miss Ethel Irving in her character
of Carey Preston. The simple. natural,
and unaffected manner in which she
played this difficult part won for her the
admiration OF the entire audience. She is

of the performance was the
realistic manner with which it was pre-
sented-nothing being o~verdone, but
everything true to life. The story is full
the romance, sentiment and chivalry,
for which the south Is so famous. The
scenery and stage effects were fine. The
moonlight scene in the third act, showing
the ruined stone gateway on Col. Pres
toms premises, the mute witness of both

leading characters OF the play. was one of
rare beauty. The managers Of the opera
house gave their patrons az evening OF
delightful entertainment when they
secured Alabama"
