and second, the interior Of the saw-nill.
and the last act will show q stting-room
in Jacob Tutwiler's house. and In its
second scene the corridor of the Poe
house.
from this brief synopsis some esti-
| mate may be formed as to the possibili-
ties presented to Mr.. Giffen for that SUI
perb stage display which is the distin-
gushing characteristic Of all his pro-
auctions. and which was declared by
Daniel Frohman to be simply pre-eni-
nent. Mr.. Frohman declared when
here last week, that he had himself new
or staged a play more carefully or with
better effect that had Mr.. Giffen put upon
the stage in 1.-The Social Highwaymen
and 1.-The Christian" both of which pro-
auctions were seen by Mr.. Frohman dur

the style Of I'm Mizzoura.." which the
Giffen Company gave last season with
such conspicuous success. though 1t is
decidedly more melodramatic.

Miss Scott's delightful representation OF
LiEbeth last season will look forward
with all the more delight to her appear

gestions Of Gloria Quayle in its conpo-
sition 1t is as different as chalk from
Cheese.
acting part as Sue Eudaly- It is sim
ply crowded with possibilities. and that
Miss Ellington Will be able to develop
them all. goes without saying. Sue
Eudaly is the belle Of Rising Sun, though

she has ever been up to this time.

part that Mr.. Hawkins has played in
Richmond.

portunities for the finesse he has dis
played so corspicuously hitherto.

Witt c. Jennings. who is to present Ben

this season, and the many admirers of

NOR is brought out of flirtations with the

cellent character part, and Mr.. Chagnon
will have his first and best opportunity
in the sketch of an over-grown, foolish
country boy. Mr.. Lamp will play the
ministerial minstrel and will assist Miss
Scott in her dance.
VERY ELABORATE SCENERY.
The scenery for this production has
been prepared with the most elaborate
care, the outlay being very lavish Mr.
Giffen himself secured the young bull
that is to appear in one Of the scenes
and led it home behind the cart He
also collected the leaves and other garn-
ishment for the stage that is to make
the scenes appear absolutely natural. The
scenery has been painted with absolute
fidelity to the original models by Chas
e. Boss. and the stage pictures this
week will be the prettiest that Mr., Giffen
has yet offered.
