 "Man of Mystery" is an excellent play and every one connected with the company, which produced it at Dake's opera house last night, was a good actor. Such was the universal verdict of those who attended the theater last evening. It is seldom that such happy combination is effected on the stage as in the production of this play. Either a good play, full of interest in itself, is used to cover up the defects of poor actors and actresses, or play without plot or interest in its lines is made pleasing production through the skill and ability of those produceit.
