 Another of Lincoln J. Carters sceni ! dramas was presented at Polls theate last night before small audience, Lik
 all of Carter's productions it possesse
 some wonderful scenery, and not ove n strong company. It is a great gallery play and no doubt will be given a bi,
 welcome tonight. In fact, it received
 considerable applause last night, fo
 there were many thrilling climaxe
 which if handled by better compan.
 would have been startling. There wa
 enough powder used to start a smal
 sized battle between two armies ant
 about every person was flashing a gul
 throughout the play. Miss St Georg
 Hussey as the Widow Casey is given
 prominent place on the program and sh \ succeeds in getting that prominence ol
 the stage. Her character was over
 done and at times wearisome Tn
 character could be made an excellen
 one by cutting out the vulgarity am
 by boiling down the part so that tn
 stage is not occupied all the time b,
 the inconsistent and tiresome Widoy
 Casey. The other parts were fairl e well presented. It is a play that wi O please very many because of the wealt
 of, scenery and the senational climaxes
 It will be repeated tonight.
