THE LOCAL STAGE.
"The StowawaE" Presented Yea
day Afternoon and Inst SlnI

''The Stowgvng" Presented VcNter-
day Afternoon and Inst Night.
The Stowaway," a hair raising melo-
drama by Thomas Craven, which Is az
full Of pure, unadulteratei thrills as an
egg Is fun of meat. was presented to fair
sized audiences at Sweeney G. Coombs'
opera house yesterday afternoon and last
night. The balance of power was in the
hands of the occupants OF the gallery on
the latter occasion and they did not fail
to show their appreciation OF the piece
in the good old fashioned way.
A few OF the characters represented are
left alive at the end OF the play, but that
Is evidently not the fault of the author,
who seems to have been a whole soulei.
hard-working chap. ready to sacrifice any
amount of gore in order to live up to the
traditions OF the melodramatic stage. In
choosing the company which appeared in
the piece yesterday, several mistakes
were made. the principal one OF which
was in the selection OF villain who does
not light cigarette as he wlthdraws his
reeking poinard from the body OF his
victim, and who wears a blond mustache
instead OF one which should be as black
as jet. Then, TOO. the gentleman III ques-
ton is not as good an actor as he might
be, but of course that has little to do
with the case.
The real" safe Is blown open by the
real reformed burglars" Messrs. Hen
messy and Mccoy. as before, and the scene
10 Just as realistic as ever. This is the
feature OF the play which is advertised
above all others. and II people do not
believe that both the safe and the bur-
glars are real they have the privilege of
reading the advance notices OF the attrac-
ton and being convinced.
Inc piece Is, as every one who has ever
witnessed its production knows, simply
succession Of impossible scenes and sit
uatlons. In which Inconsistencies are
numerous. and. even were II put on by a
company of clever players. II would fail
utterly IN furnishing either amusement or
instruction 70 any one who believes that
the stage and its people have a mission
but to certain class such productions
are thoroughly enjoyable, and that class
alone Is responsible for their existence.
The lees said about the compsny an
pearipg IN the piece the better for ali
concerned. II may be stated, however.
that the various members OF the cast are
fully as good as the play itself and that
they handle their respective parts as we'll
as such parts can be handled
The next attraction is Joshua smp-
hns which will be presented at reduced
prices this afternoon and tonight.
