The productions of David Belaseo have been among the greatest successes of the theatrical world, and of all pre- sented perhaps sThe Heart of Mary land' has enjoyed the most popularity. It has been presented to the public in all parts of the country and the great est enthusiasm has greeted it wherever produced. The story, as might be in- ferred from the title, is one of the great
 struggle between the south and the north, where love and intrigue, jealousy and honor fight for supremacy, and in
 the contest scenes of the most stirring
 and dramatic nature are brought forth, . which cause. the audience to go wild with enthusiasm. The love story is a fascinating one, the sentiment touch- ing and the scenes graphic and inspir- ing.
 "The Heart of Maryland" was pre- sented at the Grand Opera house last
 night and the company was the same
 excellent one which gave the very sat-
 isfactory performance at the Hyperion ] last season. It is a particularly strong company and the several actors were : last night received with resoundfng plaudits. They were all compelled to appear before the curtain at the close of each act.
 One of the most stirring scenes Is that in the tower of the old colonial church, in which Maryland Calvert, af- ter striking down the officer who has insulted her. rushes into the tower and up the dark, narrow staircase and lad ders to the belfry, and, leaping from the fraiI platform clutches the bell clapper, and swinging to and fro with it's vibration, prevents the alarm being rung out which would insure the recap ture of her lover, who has been con- demned to be shot as spy. This scene, with it's intensity of interest, would alone insure the success of even an or dfnary play.
 The piece will be repeated tonight and tomorrow night and at the mati- nee tomorrow.
 At the Grand Opera house next Thursday, Friday and Saturday and at the Saturday matinee Sullivan, Harris & Woods. the largest producers of mel odrama in the world, will present for the first time in this city their latest success, Rachel Goldstein, or the Struggles of Poor Girl fin New York" with Miss Louise Beaton as Rachel, supported by competent cast of met ropolitan artists. This new play is fresh from the pen of Theodore Kre- nler and is well written, int teresting and thrilling comedy drama. It has been produced without regard to cost, and the novel and beautiful snen;o of fleets are unsurpassed by any attrac- ton on the road.
 In brief. the story of 'Rache1 Gold stein" is that of young and charming Yiddish girl of Russian extraction, who
 while on her way to America meets the man oy her hearts fancy and also in- CUTS the enrnity of bad woroan and her paramoUr, villain of the firet wa- ter.
