Effe EIIsIer in "Barbara Frietchie.o

Barbara Frietchie,' Clyde Fitch's beau
tiful war play, will be presented at En-
lish's Opera House Thursday, Friday and
Saturday nights and Saturday afternoon
of the current week, with Effie Ellsler in
the title role. Miss Ellsler will be recalled
by readers of dramatic literature as the
talented young actress who scored such a
success last season in "The Christian"
barbara Frietchie'' is a beautiful I'M
conventional piece, stirring, patriotic and
rcmatic. 1t presents the heroine celebrated
by John G. Whittier in his poem, not as a
bent and white-haired old woman, but as
a glowing, charming young Fredericktown
maiden, whose heart was given to a federal
officer and whose love surmounted Sec
tional bitterness and hatred and held loyal
ly to her brave hero in blue even up to
the hour of death. The first act of the play
takes place amid most picturesque and
delightful surroundings. The time is the
witching hour of twilight and the charac-
tiers, who are residents of Frederick, are
enjoying the refreshing air of evening on
the broad verandas of their houses, while
soldiers and their sweethearts throng the
streets. Barbara is at first faithful to the
traditions of her family, but gradually love
breaks down ancient prejudice and she
finds herself possessed of federal tendencies,
and thereby incurs the displeasure of her
oiAlAA dhO III llnat VI e cTSlWnllG
friends. The young woman, however, is
determined upon her choice and consents
to elope with the captain. hey meet at a
minister's house in Hagerstown, but just
as the marriage ceremony is about to be
performed the captain is called on to join
his regiment for an immediate battle with
the rebel troops. The conflict takes place,
the captain is shot by Arthur Frietchie,
Barbara's brother, and is carried TO Bar
bara's house. One of the most pathetic and
beautiful scenes in the entire play is that
which shows Barbara and the faithful old
colored servant half supporting. half-carry-
ing the wounded soldier up the stairway
leading to Barbara's private room. where
he is concealed from the wrath of the elder
Frietchie. The complete New York pro-
duction, with all of the beautiful scenery
and accessories, is promised for the local
engagement.
