Hon. John Writ Randall Oomplimented.

In discussing some views of the Gener-
al Convention OF the Protestant Episco-
pal Church which recently held a session
at San Francisco, the Rev. Pereprin
Wroth says in the December number of
The Maryland CHDychman:
"New members have been more or
less mildly accused of having been the
cause of the failure on the part of the
Convention in not accomplishing more
than it did, owing TO their loquacity on
the one hand. and their obtuseness on
the other. may be excused, hope, if
say word in their behalf" After re-
ferring to several "new members Mr..
Wroth pays the following worthy COM
pliment to our fellow townsman, the
Hon. ]. Writ Randall, who was a dele
gate from St. Anne's Church, of which
he is vestryman, to the Conventions:
"Another new member John w. Ran
dalD and that of our own delegation,
made only three short speeches; but with
such effect. that with one of them he won
the heart Of New York clerical deputy;
with another he divided a diocese, and
secured new missionary district, and
with third he rescued the Convention
from a terrible tangle of unparliamentary
procedure, and grasped most unexpec-
ted victory from the hands of inglorious
defeat."

AT OPERA HOUSE.
4The American Girl' A Clever Production.

Lie Au6IlCau UlIl n Ol6VoT IfOuuCblOu'
The A. O. Scammon Company, last
night gave the production "The Ameri-
can Girl at the Opera House. in which
Mr.. George F. Hall was introduced as
the comedian.
While the entire cast of characters was
excellent, Mr.. Hall was PAR excellence,
and whole show in himself. His very
presence produced laughter. and he was
repeatedly called and recalled.
"The American Girl is not new, it is
much like the old plot where lovers mar
nv and keep it secret, where 'the vii
lain still pursues her," and the husband
becomes separated from his wife. and
where there is after years of misery and
separation, happy denouement.
The American Girl was Miss Dorothy
La Mar, who as Jasmine, the wife OF
Philip Devon. did effective work in the
cast. Mr.. Harry Hamill, as Sampson
Graft, was given ample scope for good
work as "the villain of which he made
good use, and in which he displayed
clever acting. Sir John and his English
servant were excellent characters, as was
"Twister." Miss Mae Phelps, a very
clever soubrette Miss Stevens and Miss
Johnson, as Lady Derwent and her
daughter came in for a share of applause,
and little Grace Russell and Daisy
Stampe as "Prince Roy and "the little
lady were highly appreciated. These
little children did remarkably we'll, and
evinced talent, cleverness and careful
stage training. Mr. La Rue as Philip
Devon, later Lord Fairfax, was thorough
ly natural and did creditable work in his
character. but Mr.. George F. Hall, simp-
ly eclipsed them all. He out Caesared
Caesar, and is the best comedian seen
here for some years. Mr.. Hall is very
funny, even his appearance suggests
mirth and merriment. He is perfectly
natural, and as Ross Bolter. an American
hustler, was always on the spot at the
right time, always good natured and al
ways pleased the audience whose good
graces he won at the offset. The sue
| cess of ssThe American Girl" is hinged
on Mr.. George F Hall, comedian Of
ability and cleverness.
