Under the Polar Star" a romantic
 melodrama, In five acts, by Clay M.
 Greene, was presented under the direc-
 tion of William A. Brady at the lily
 perion theater last evening. The piece
 was put on here with partially the
 same cast and all the settings which
 graced the Academy of Music in New
 York upon its initial run. The story is
 one of intense interest and while there
 are few dull lines occasionally, there
 are so many thrilling climaxes and
 striking mechanical effects that the
 audience never lacks for excitement The story is that of an Arctic exploring expedition, which starts from Brooklyn.
 Among the party are two who have
 been crossed in love affairs. The tilted
 one uses extraordinary methods of re- venge, and previous to the departure
 of the expedition is instrumental in the
 murder of the instigator of the project During the action some of the finest
 mechanical effects are wrought. Act i II presents the deck of the steamer and
 while the heroine, Who at this time characterizes the male impersonation Of Joe, the deck boy, is accused of rob bery-thereby attracting the attention of the entire crew-the vessel is caught in an ice foe, which scene is most
