THE Marriage OF william Ashe." adapted
by Margaret Mayo from Mrs. Humphrey
Wards novel OF the same title and pro-
duced under the direction OF William A.
Brady.
Interest in the staging OF bookSof fic-
ton, that has attracted wide reading and
much discussion. and in one OF the most
engaging OF condolences. drew a sizable
and cordial audience 20 the opera house.
last evening.
AS a stage heroine. the Lady Kitty
she is a perfect little ninny. Such refined
idlocy is rarely exploited in the drama
outside the ingenue parts where II Is
harmless The stage heroine who makes
trouble for the hero usually accomplishes
81 by being more OF a knave.
The LADY Kitty simply raises the old
Harry. not alone because she is frivolous
and doesn't quite know her own mind two
minutes at a time. but because 10 such
womanly Stiffness is added positive and
irrepressible folly When she tries 10
right things she does the bost wrong. and
when she thinks she is particularly
smart and good she is sure TO be worse
than ever.
That sort OF thing is hard 10 win the
sympathy OF an audience with. The result
Is that interpreted with all the piquancy
and dainty charm OF the petite star. tho
audience follows the marriage OF William
Asho with sympathy: but 1t plainly comes
10 regret. even less than Ashe does. the
final severance and death.
This is not 10 say that last nights au-
dience did not find the comedy entertain
ing and often profoundly interesting.
Nothing could fail 10 be interesting in
which Miss George figures. She possesses
n personality that Is always highly en-
gaging. and the hoyden OF the first half
OF the play is as pretty as Maggie Nit
chell part and as prettily done as that
eminent little rapscallion OF comedienne
would have done it,
The various character sketches or the
comedy are handled cleverly by writer's
and actors alike. and Mr. Smiths William
Ashe is convincing portrayal The pro-
duction is splendid. the five acts being
mounted with great elegance and taste,
the midnight scene in Ashes house ana
the Venetian scene at carnival time beina
especially fine.

the citizens Of New Iberia of villa
some of the business men hay,
done so far and what they hop'
will be accomplished toward th'
erection of a first class DpeT;
House for our city by next season
No one denies the great neces
sity for such an institution an'
the only question has been how t.
raise the money to erect SHi'
able building; one that will con
form to the present necessity and
the civic pride of New Iberia
We see large excursions leav-
ing our city, going 10 other places,
not half the size Of New Iberia,
to enjoy the opera or drama. We
contend that this should not ,e;
that our city offers too many ~,
vantages for first class Opera
House not to have such an insti
tuition here, and We should all
have sufficient local pride to as
sist this enterprise 10y taking such
amount of stock as our means will
justify.

according to the census of 1900
The corporate limits at that time
were very contracted and a large
portion of the rsanufactaI ng see
ton was ust outside the limits
Since then this territory has been
annexed which has increased the
cities area and greatly augmented
its population a very conserva
tive estimate Of the population at
the present time would give the
city 10000. Another decided ad
vantage an Opera House would
have here is the fact that New
Iberia IS surrounded by territory
and towns well peopled and would
furnish n cOntributory population
of 10000 for short and easy ex
cursiOns
The following towns located
around New Iberia are Jeanerette,
10 miles; Loreauville, 10 miles:
