Uncle Josh Spruceby."

Recognizing the tendency of the times to cheapen prices for sensible, healthy amusements. the managers of the Uncle Josh Spruceby' company, which appears at the Jefferson theatre next Wednesday afternoon and night have decided to play this season at fifty cent prices. The wis dom of this move appears to have been Justified by the houses that greet the company everywhere. The play is a New England comedy drama, and for the past seven years has appeared only at regu- lar prices all over the country. Special scenery and an orchestra are still carried. No attempt has been made to cheapen the attraction on account of playing at popular prices.

Paul Gilmore has had a stage career of less than ten years, but he has rapidly grown in experience.
 ''ln his new vehicle, Captain Debon- naire,' he has found a play admirably adapted to his style; and as the gallant young nobleman, masqueradng in New Amsterdam, as an adventurer, equally gallant, Mir. Gilmore certainly justified his claim to be considered the best TO- mantle actor now on our stage.
 'The play breathes the very atmos- phere of the old days, when every man carried his life in one hand and his sword in the other; and in the thrilling episodes with which the drama is filled MT. Gil more fairly carried his audience away with him.
 "The support was excellent, the mount ing admirable, and the general effect of the picturesque play all that could be de- sired. Mir. Gilmore should visit Jackson- vile oftener."
