The Air Ship

Mr. ]. NJ. Gates, the author of THE Air
Ship" has styled his new play spectacu-
lar musical farce comedy, because unlike
most other farce comedies upon the stage,
he has introduced novel scenic effects,
electrical displays and mechanical novel;
ties 1t is a farce comedy that is claimed
to have a coherent plot, which is carried
lightly through the three acts and gives
reason for all that happens. To make this
play a success the management has gath
cred together people whose names will show
that they are perfectly competent to make
the most of the lines which are theirs. The
plot deals with the questions of the day,
introducing an air ship, from which the
play takes its name. THE Air Ship" will

1.-THE PLAYS

Washburn's Great Southern Minstrels en-
tertained splendid audiences at O'Brien's
opera house yesterday at matinee and last
night in a manner entirely satisfactory and
pleasing. In fact the show was a genuine
surprise in so far as its merits were concern
ed The performance compares favorably
with the more pretentious minstrels who
have visited the city, and in some of its
features excels them.
There is an air of genuine old-fashioned
rninstrelsy about the show which is relief
from the monotony of the modern min
strel' and an awakening, as it were, from
the dreams of long ago.
From start to finish the performance is
bright and snappy, the specialies being
especially good. The Washburn Minstrels
deserve to become famous.
