Coon Hollow Coming

A pastoral natural dramaI Favored
with the breezy local color OF Tenesset
life and permeated with the soft south
ern atmosphere of its valleys, is, "a Ro
nance of Coon Hollow" which was on,
of the substantial triumphs OF the las
three seasons. This success was in par
due to the magnificent scenic effects
among which are q realistic steamboat
race bel ween r Z Lee and Natchez, and
a cotton press in actual operation. But
the play met favor with thoughtful
people in worthier grounds. 1t is aplen'
didly constructed. the characters are
flesh and blood beings, the plot is very
dramatic anu l. teresting, and the humoI
genuinely funny without being at all
farcical. All this we gleam from the
comments of the leading cities of the
country. A number of extrinsic featur-
es lend interest to the production. The
electrical effects, showing the features oi
night in a southern country place are
both novel and pretty. A troupe OF dar-
key male and female plantation dancers,
and two colored quartettes add volume to
the entertainments. "a Romance oil
Coon Hollow" is complete production,
