Clay Clement in His
Own Comedy.

"A Southern Gentleman is falsely

edy. The spirit of romance is not for a
moment present In fact spirit of any
kind is absolutely lacking, save in the
prologue, which is sensational and realis-
tic in intention, though robbed of its best
effects by the wooden ineXperience with
which Lieuteant Thompson, Mr.. Oscar
Norheet, handled his death. The purpose
of the prologue is to foreshadow the plot,
Dut the play would be quite as interesting
as II is with no plot at all. 1t is simply
Inc stringing together of scenes and incl
dents or Southern life, which 1t was an
eXertlon to connect. Mr. Clement has
reached out for atmosphere and failed to
grasp it The exaggerated courtesy OF
Ola Carolina days must be very perfectly
pictured nowadays to prove interesting.
This very exotic politeness was romantic
and decorative in satin shorts, powder
and patches, but to-day We care for more
of the cake and less Of the frosting. Be
sides the play is weighted with character
parts. one for each man of the company,
ana character actors are few. 1t must be

acts and prologue to talk in dialect you

sational exits appealed to the gallery, but
the lower house vas quietly respectful
and Subdued. The dialogue is stilled, not
in a literary but in a sentimental way,
and il is overcharged with lay sermons
and trite philosophy. To criticize Mr..
Clement is a restricted privilege-the
privilege of such as are able to do it. The
part he has written for himself is not a
good one. 1t is a sort of living picture,
animated a times by romantic sensations.
He did some subtle and studied acting in
parts and carried an air of gentleness and
high-bred courtesy throughout the play,
but those who have seen The New Do

from Hohenstauffen to attach them to
General Carroll. Mrs. Clement was over
strained in her acting of Arzelia Miss
