theatrical Notes

No one can speak Of Chauncey Olcott.
the clever comedian and sweet voiced
singer, without athrili Of pleasure AZ
they have once heard him sing. In a
theatre where beats the great heart Of
the people he thrills the heart, and his
tones linger in the ear long after the
contour OF his face is forgotten. Mr..
Olcott is one Of the most successful
dramatic stars IN the North, and is
making his first Southern tour. He will
present his new and successful play at
the Opera House tonight. 1t is entitled
Terence" a dramatization OF Mrs.
b. Nj. Croker's widely read novel Of that
name. The character Of Terence is said
to AFFORD Mr.. Olcott the best opportun-
ity he has yet had 70 show his power
OF versatility, the part giving him
scope for a wide display OF strong dra-
matte work, as well as light and witty
comedy. The scenes are laid in Bally-
bay, Shule and Dublin, ireland, and
deal with the experience OF Terence. a
gentleman by birth, who, for a purpose
OF his own, is driving the mail coach
from Shule to Ballybay. Mr.. Olcott has
written and composed several new
songs for the play, which are said to
rank with the best written by him.
The production IS under the personal
supervision of Augustus Pitou, and will
be beautifully costumed and supeubly
staged.
