Damon and Pythias.

Scenically F. R. Hallam's forthcoming
revival OF Damon and Pythias,' is full
of interest. 1t will be a magnificent pro-
duction, every scene for the entire five
acts having been specially painted by A.
w. Street. scenic artist of the Grand
Opera House, Pittsburg, who ranks among
the very finest scenic artists in the coun-
try. The scene for the first act shows
a massive Grecian arch with picturesque
view of a street in the background and
the exterior of the senate chamber in the
foreground. An admirably painted scene
is one representing the exterior of pris-
on with beaut' 'ul marine view in the
background showing ship lying at an
Choir. garden scene with its wealth
OF brilliant foliage, it's statuary and foun-
tains, is stage picture that cannot fail
to delight the eye No more beautiful
stage setting of this kind has ever been
seen on the stage. The interior of the
senate chamber is another striking scene.
In the last act a perspective view OF the
mountainous country surrounding the old
city of Syracuse, is shown. The sun has
just set and the brilliant red glow is
seen over the mountains. In this scene
a mechanical effect will be used by which
Damon will be seen on horseback riding
over the mountains
1t is safe to say that there will be no

Faust This Week.

Lewis Morrison himself will appear at
the Metropolitan Theatre for the last
time in this city, on Saturday night,
March 10Th with his novel. highly effective
and superb new production of Faust.
Long and costly experiments for produc-
ing a fash of lightning in miniature have
last proved successful. The mimic cleo
trio discharges from murly clouds add
considerably to the wild sublimity OF the
;umultuous scene on the summit Of the
Brocken. Aside from the elaborate stag
ing of Faust the drama is rendered
in the highest degree interesting by Mr.
Morrisons graphic representation of Me-
phisto musical novelty has been per-
fected for frightening the effect of the
church scene. A chime of rich toned
bells ring out full and clear while the
worshippers assemble As the lingering
echoes of the bells die softly away, the
voices of singers announce the opening
of services within the sacred edifice. APP
propriate orchestral music forms a fitting
accompaniment to several of the scenes.
The musical selections given with the
action of the play comprise gems from
Gounod's score of Faust and selec-
tions from the compositions of Rossini
and Meyerbeer and other great compos-
ers. Mr.. Morrison is supported by an
excellent company.

tract will be helpful in North Carolina as
well as in Missouri:
ut is pleasant to report that the colored
people themselves throughout the city
seem to be desiring that their children be
taught in the school how to work and
how to acquire habits of steady work, as
well as to have keener appreciation of
the common and better things of life. The
ability to do things, to continue at work,
to restrain their lower passions ard to
keep at some useful activity is the edu-
cation necessary to be aimed at for our
