"The Tornado"

Lincoln j. Carter's new play,
"The Tornado is said TO be nov.
city, in every sense in which the
word can appertain to a dramatic
work. When the curtain rises on
the first act it reveals handsome
setting OF rustic surroundings. 1t
is at this moment that Mr.. Carter
starts in on his audience, he goes
right up to "High CO. and stays
there. The beauty of his FIRST act
setting is but plaything for the
mighty Tornado at the close Of the
act. The old homestead with its
outlying buildings, its grand old
trees, its fragrant shubbery, all are
swept away before the awful wind
which prevails. The impressive
grandeur of this scene cannot be de-
scribed, can hardly be imagined. In
this tremendous climax Mr.. Carter
gave his admirers cause for appre-
hension. They said, "he has struck
too high, he cannot hold up to it
the interest must flag after such
scene as that" But when, in the
second act, the curtain-rise exposed
tho full deck ola ship with every de-
tail in its makeup complete, the
swaying with the motion of the
waves Of the entire scene, then came
the order TO shorten sail and prepare
for blow, and then a moment OF
expectancy and the grandeur OF the
rigging scene was before their eyes.
Six old tars GU the yardarm OF
mast furling a monster sail forty
feet above the deck, the wind
cracking the canvass, the lightning
binding in its flashes. Another
moment of calm and the audience
find themselves back on deck again
only to experience the great COLI
sion scene. Two ocean steamers
coming together at full speed, and
then the open sea scene, with the
waves running mountain high, toss
ing a man from crest to crest as
though he were but a cork. The
curtain down, the lights up, and the
doubters are wondering "what he
can have to follow" Then comes
the street scenes in Chicago, the
barbor at night, showing all the
familiar buildings, the vast water
front, the Randolph street yiaduct,
etc., quickly followed by the dis.
secting room scene in medical col
lege, ard another act of novelties
has passed. The next one is up to
the standard, in a comedy excel
lence, and then the gorgeous au-
tnmnal beauty of the final act is
shown, and with it ends a play
which, starting in at "concert
pitch" it stays there. and keeps an
audience with wonder in their
minds, amazement on their faces,
and their hands gripped on the arms
of their seats. At the Central
Opera House, one night only, We'd

took their local paper TO hold up

hundred only six responded, The
superintendent expressed great
surprise and said: you don't
