Held by the Enemy" Gillette's IA
NOUS military dramatic success, was
played by the Morosco Company at
the Clunie last evening to- thoroughly
satisfied and large audience. 1t is
simple justice to say that While the
piece was capitally mounted, leaving
nothing wanting in stage effectiveness,
the company was better than the
staging. 1t was nearly f1awless. The
thrilling drama was given with spirit,
depth of feeling, dramatic vigor and
delicacy, and in a style thoroughly
artistic, denoting careful study, intel
ngence and thorough drill. The calls
to the footiights for Mr.. Brophy ana
Miss Atwood were deserved compli-

dramatic work. But, then, there was
no weakness in any role. Miss Julla

Mr.. Stewart in the pathetic role of the
self-sacrificing old slave, Mr.. Butler as
the newsgatherer and artist, Mr.. Ste
vens as the Brigade Surgeon, Mr. Won
Mitzel as the Confederate Lieutenant,
were especially noteworthy for their
ease. naturalness and faithful inter-
pretations. In short, the presentation
of the play was a distinct and emphatic
success by a body of entirely capable
people.

Clunie che other night by the Morosco
Company the house was packed and
large numbers of people were turned
from the doors. In response to the
desire of those thus disappointed, and
in reply to a special signed appeal,
the play regularly billed for tonight
has goeen withdrawn and "Trilby'' will
be given this evening in it's place. In
another column appears correspond

a letter addressed to Managers Ficks
and Morosco, requesting repetition of
the play. and their answer acceding to
the request In this piece MIR. Brophy
is Sevengali, character made famous
by Wilton Lackaye, and which Mr..
Brophy essays with notable success.
Miss Atwood will be the Trilby of the
play. Having seen many in the char
acter. we are prepared to say she is
the equal of the leaders. Mrs. Berg

Morosco Company gave the play before
excellently. leaving little or nothing
wanting, and won the heartiest APP

Miss Adele Harrington, one of the
leaders in the Grau Opera Company to
open here Monday night, stepped from
a church choir to the operate stage.

and of magnetic presence. Her voice

superiority resides in the boys part in
