On Wednesday night brought out
another large audience. The play was
hardly as good as the one Of the previous
night. but nevertheless it was highly
amusing throughout and ELECTED much
applause. While the entire cast played
their respective parts in their usual
clever manner, the work of MI Scott and
his leading lady-whom we consider one
of the best actresses that has ever made
her appearance on the local stage-was
especially fine. She is beautiful, grace
full, charming, yes as lovely as the day is
long, at all times, and plays her part i'll a
most brilliant manner. Her every word,
move and gesture stamps her rs being
one of the finest and cleverest actresses
appearing on the American stage at the
present time-not even excepting those
now appearing in the big theatres iii such
cities as New York, Chicago, Baltimore,
Philadelphia. Cincinnati, Milwaukee,, St
Louis Atlanta, San Francisco, and else
where. No words of COMMUNICATION that
we could say through these columns
would fully do justice to her splendid
work. In her, Mr Scott has q star that he
may we'll proud Of, apd even though all
the others of his select company are what
may be termed stars. she is beyond a
doubt the brightest and most brilliant of
the lot.
The Illustrated songs, Things in The
Bottom Drawer and INeyer Liked a Mig

the specialties by Drew, Bernard and the
Shrewsbury Sisters, provoked much ap-
pfauSe.

For the benefit of our MANY readers and
friends we take pleasure in reproducing
the following from u last weeks ISSUE:
The George w Scott Company opened
a weeks, engagement at the Opera House
last Sunday night, presenting for thefirst
time before an Abbeville audience the
latest great New York success, "A Man of
The People" a splendid three act society
drama. The play deals with the recent
big strike III the antLricate coal regions
of the Quaker State, is taken from real
life and potrays clearly and truly the dis
tinction between the rich and poor, be-
tween society and poverty itself
+, MI. Scott appeared 20 advantage in the
title role, and clearly demonstrated his
ability as an eminent comedian and star
&C tor. He seems at home before the
footlIghts on all occasions, and is indeed
what may be termed d natural born actor.
He can play tragedy, comedy. in fact al
most any old thing. and yet hold his W
| with many OF the stage celebrities OF the
land. And he is his season surrounded
aid supported by an ali-star company
one of the best. if not the very best-that
Gas ever delighted the theatre -goers of
renown on the American stage.
The specialties presented between acts
were all splendid. superior to the usual
| specialtieS introduced by repertoire COM
panies touring this section. and ELECTED
much applause from the large audience
throughout. The Shrewsbury Sisters,
singing and dancing was especially inter
esting and entertaining. Joe Bernard,
the famous Herald Square baritone, sang
several beautiful ballads. He has a
splendid voice, which qnite agrees with
his neat appearance or the stage. Carroll
Drew in m0nologue, however, was right
there with the goods and he handled them
in a most clever nanne His jokes were
all good. and fresh, many of them ex-
tremely funny-good enough to drive
away the blaes not only in word but in
reality, and bring tears of JOY to the eyes
of many. 1t would be a pretty diff
cult matter to TO choose as to which of
specia1ties were the best, for the pro-
gram throughout was so entertaining,
that it must be confessed that all were
delighted and it deyolves upon the indivi-
dual to express his or her opinion in this
instance. AS for ourselves, we were more
than pleased with both the play and
s~peeiafties, everything coming up to our
fullest expectations.
