In "a Southern Gentleman" to be
at the Opera House Saturday evening
Clay Clement, as General Carroll, is
possessed of magnetic attractiveness
First, the brave, dashing and chival-
rous young officer of the Confederacy
and then the courtly, unassuming,
warm-hearted and generous Southern
gentleman of the old school, tender
and gentle to women, brave and chiv-
alrous to men, are parts carried by
Mr. Clement with ease of one who was
to the manner born. There is not
the slightest silt or stiffness or I'M
naturalness about the types Of the
young and the old Southern manhood
which he portrays.
One of the chief charms of the play
is the excellent balancing of the char
acters and the foils each affords the
other. The sentiment is sweet, pure
and good, and for that reason alone is
worthy the approval of the playgoing
world and the world at large There
is not the slightest indelicacy or any
thing savoring of it, and the rest of the
characters, taking their cue from that
of General Joseph Carroll, follow the
ideal type and carry it through the
play. 1t is such a play from which but
good results, from the seeing of which
trammeled and brings a sense of quiet
and peace and contentment which is
the authors and the actors chiefest
triumph, for in this play Mr. Clements
ideals have been high and pure and
noble, and he has ideally and nobly
presented them.
