PEASE & MAYS.

There is in its quaint melody and
Uournful words a life picture of the
sunny south of which so many in the
north know little. William G. Sterling,
the author of s'On the Suwanee River"
which comes to the Vogt opera house
Monday evening next, January 16, has
taken as the locality of this new play the
region about the little village of Suwanee
on the banks of the famous old stream,
and he presents to us the story of the
family of Clayton, one of the first set
tiers in Florida. It is not claimed that
developments of the play are new, nor
that the story possesses any great
amount of originality in its development.
Mr.. Sterling has simply written ro-
nance of the south with true old char
acters and placed them in this little
known region, depending upon the
strength of his play and its romantic
surroundings to win public approval.
Reports of this new attraction are good
and in it we are promised a"home play"
which will prove attractive and interest
ing to the best class of theatre-goers.
The story has been thoroughly illu-
strated with scenic investiture painted
from nature in the region of the action
of the play.
