THE LOCAL STAGE.
LnrEe and Enthuisinstic Audience
snyy "In Old Kentucky.

Lnrge and Enthusiastic Audience
snyy 'In Old Kentucky.
Il has been several years since c. 7.
Dazey's In Old Kentucky was FIRST pro-
duced, but these years have not in any
way diminished its drawing powers if
one may Judge By the reception accorded
the piece at Sweeney & Coombs' theater
last night The gallery was simply pack
ed with people, the balcony was filled to
its capacity and majority Of the seats
in the parquette were occupied when the
curtain went up on the first act. The
closest attention was given to the un'
folding of the plot and every stroua point
was greeted with the most generous
applause imaginable, It was one of the
most enthusiastic houses OF the season
and the gallery did not furnish all of the
applause, either
The play itself Is too well known to re-
quire any comment II was presented
last night with all the wealth of scenery
and effects which characterized the orig
inal production and so far as settings
and accessories we're concerned. there
was nothing left to be desired. The
bridge scene, the FIRE In Queen Bess
quarters and the race We're all just as
they used 10 be ang, apparently, made as
big a hit as ever they did. The appear
ance in the second act Of the negroes
carried with the organization had in /,
nothing which would elicit any great
amount Of admiration from lover OF
Ibsen. but It pleased last nights audience
/ and therefore fulfilled its mission, The
gallery expected horse play and got il
/ in large doses. together with some very
good buck dancing band music and baton
/ tw;rling.
/ There are no stars in the company
I which interpreted the piece, but IN most
respects II Is capable. Miss Elsa Ryar
IS clever as Madge Briefly and Burt G
Clark does some good work as Colone
Doolitt!e. Jack Dromeir exhibits alto
gethor too little animation to be eflec
tive as Frank Layson Miss Cotton al
Alathea Lawson and Miss Rudesll a
Barbara Holton are deserving of men
ton.
There viii be no presentation of thu
piece tonight the engagement terminal
ing with the matinee performance. TIL
advance sale Is quite a heavy one and I
lis likely that another large audience
win see the piece this afternoon
