SHERLOCK HOLMES LAST NIGHT.
One of the Best Shows of the Season Witnessed
by Crowded House.

The Raleigh theatre-goers enjoyed
rafting good show last night at the
Academy of Music.
They witnessed the presentation OF
Sherlock Holiness" by company OF
players in every way qualified for the
characters assumed.
The leading parts of the famous hero
detective and his deadly enemy, Prof.
Moriarty, could hardly have been in bet
ter hands than in those of Cuyler Hast
ings and Griffith Evans. Miss Mollison
as Alice Faulkner was also a success and
won much applause.
t'Sherlock Holmes is a thrilling mel
odrama crowded with intensely inter-
csting situations, which are rendered
realistic through a careful attention to
scenic effects. Every scene is happy
conception charmingly executed. The
play moves to it's climaXes rapidly, every
line and action teeming with excitement
prosecuted woman, brace of
Williams led by an arch fiend, and
hero detective of the kind that surmounts
every difficulty with now and then a
display of firearms, combine to produce
a plot that does not fail to satisfy the
gallery, yet the master mind of the au-
thor has handled it so skillfully that his
production delights those who demand
the very best drama in return for their
admission fee.
Altogether it is not often that Raleigh
witnesses better play than that of last
night.
