v0rite. 1t has well devised plot, the CHAR
acters are simple, the scenes are cleverly
arranged and the language is in keeping
with 1t all.
As performed by the Bacon company last
night the beauties OF the piece were ad-
displayed and the acting In sew
eral instances rose to the standard Of the
original production when that genial old
man, Stoddart, took the leading part and
Holland and Harris supported
him.

Mr.. Webster gave a finished performance
Of the part of the old planter, naughty, re-
firing, morose and embittered by the MEM
ory of his wrongs. The other character
parts were also capitally sustained, the
one by Mr.. Bacon of Colonel Moberly being
particularly good in make up and lacking
only in a little of the military swagger that
is expected i'll the gallant colonel Of the
Talladega light artillery. George Os-
bourne, the younger, was unexpectedly
good as Squire Tucker, the part being ap-
parently unsuited to his youthful Shout
ders, but he made a great deal out of 1t
and made 1t up most faithfully

ORPHEUM-The house last night was
a bumper as usual and the entertainment
gave every satisfaction.
The old favortes, Gilbert and Goldie,
were greeted with some of the heartiest
applause of the evening. Their act is so
clean and full of spontaneous fun that the
audience could not get enough of them
and finally after many recalls Goldie had
to beg that they be excused as they had
nothing more prepared with the orchestra.
Gilbert gave the best imitation Oh follsn
Jew that has been seen here in a long time.
He is a born comedian and with the assist
ance of Goldie kept the audience in cor
slant state of laughter After one of his
songs, what appeared to be bouquet COW
cred with tissue paper was handed to him.
On removing the paper he discovered three
large golden balls on the end Of wires. Wal
ter Golde came in for his share of the fun,
especially in his burlesque on hypnotism
when he attempted to hypnotic his part
ner. Their turn, which had the suggestive
title "It Is To Laugh" wound up with
patriotic song made up of gags and puns
between a Yankee and a Spanish sailor.
This team made the hit of the evening.
Charley Case, who was down on the bill
for a "witty and entertaining monologue,"
