booked early In the season and which
could not be induced to accommodate.
THE Dawn of Freedom" was certainly
an inspiration inasmuch as nearly all or
the scenes and incidents depicted in the
play bearing such a close relation to the
events which have passed into history,
we're conceived Of by the author, more
than a year prior to the Spanish-Ameri-
can hostilitles, and are therefore of spe-
cial value for stage purposes.
In every essential department of truly
complete production Mr. Gilmore has fuf-
nished unmstakable evidence of gener-
osity, the scenic equipment being partic-
ularly lavish, and In point Of mechanical
ingenuity, by far surprising anything at
tempted In recent years. Some OF the et-
fects being marvelously realistic. Nosh-
ing so consumately skilful as the naval
engagement between the fleets of Ad-
mirals Sampson and Cervera has ever
been shown on the stage
Mr.. Gilmore has likewise bestowed more
than ordinary consideration regarding the
proper costuming of his play, the uni
forms of the Spanish soldiers, Cuban in
surgents. United States marines and sol
diers being absolutely correct in all Their
belonging and trappings.
As Antonio Lopez, a Cuban patriot, Mr
Gilmore gives to the stage n splendid
and altogether picturesque impcrsonation
| lie assumes the difficult and trying role
with a subdued vgor and unctious ease
| that is a refreshing relief, even when
called upon to exert himself with the
greatest possible force, his efforts are al
ways natural and convincing. In fact
there are few better actors before
the public than Mr. Gilmore, and
none more anxious and willing that
| the other members of the com
| pany should receive an equal amount
| of favors from the audience. Mr.. Gil
more has surrounded himself by an eX
| Cellent organization and every one II
the big caste has special opportunity
of which due advantage is taken. The
drama will be repeated this afternoon and
| evening.
