UNDER SOUTHERN SKIES.
In this day and generation the sun
is certainly shining on both sides
Of the street for women workers in
the field of art and literature. Es-
perially so does this seem to be true
of women playwrights.
Their plays are fast usurping the
place in the affections of the public
that was once held almost exclusive
ly by plays from the pens OF our
noted male authors. Woman is
sounding the tocsin of woman and
rushing to the box Office to secure
seats for Miss or Mrs. So and Sos
play, whilst those from the pen Of
the sterner sex are growing less in
demand. While this may seem
strange it is nevertheless fact.

We're running in New York City at
the same time, the former at the
Academy of music, and the latter at
the Theatre Republic, to the capa-
city Of the respective houses, and a
third play underlined tor production
at still another theatre in the metro
polls.
Mrs. Parker enjoys being the
first woman playwright to have at
tanned this distinction. In Under
Southern Skies" she has deftly wo-
ven pretty story Of love and TO-
nance, treating the scenes and
character Of the Sunny South as
delicately and cleverly as she did
those Of New England in Way
Down East" She has given us a
pretty play, finely drawn and Ell
tirely free from any mention Of the
blue or the gray. Under southern
! Skies" has been handsomely mount
cd by Mr.. VIM. A. Brady under
| whose direction the town is and the
company, carefully selected. The
play will be seen at the Grand Opera
| House tonight.
