UNDER SOUTHERN SKIES.
An Impossible Company Played
Havoc With Characters.

Under Southern Skies was the pro-
posed attraction at the Academy yester-
day at matinee and last night, and to
drop the curtain on the production is
the, llindest thing that can be done.
A fair sized audience listened to some
score of factors" talk the Southern dialect
Qleard only on tho stage. and attempt
to represent Southern gentlefolk.
1t was ludicrous, although unintention-
ally so, and not even the long suffering
gallery was able to enthuse.
Kindly Southern colonies and majors
spoke like cornneld negroes and behaved
like cutthronts. Southern girls aped u
cnyness that was never seen In the
South, and impossible negroes cavorted
about the stage, talking in vernucular
tunintelligible save to themselves.
