Mr.. Gilmore's present undertaking is
quite a departure from that which occu-
pied his attention on the occasion of his
last visit to Omaha. He was then a courte-
Gus and courageous English gentleman.
without the least bit OF romance or imag-
nation now he is a young Frenchman,
courteous and courageous, withal, but full
| of romance and the unrestrained magma
| ton OF youth. That is the difference, but
IL didn't seem TO make any difference in
| his reception at the Boyd theater.
Captain Debonnaire is really Louis de
Cadillac. who has won the sobriquet by his
| insouciance. He carries in his pocket
miniature of an ancestress, some two CEN
turtles dead. whom he pledges the
'fairest among women" His chief. who
| happens to be the governor of Canada,
recognizes the likeness OF the miniature to
Rene de Cadillac, niece of the French sec
| rotary at New Amsterdam. A wager is
made that the captain will not wed the
fair girl within six months. a condition
| being that he go to New Amsterdam in
cog. This is the prologue. In the first act
the captain has reached New Amsterdam.
and Immediately begins his siege TO the
heart OF the fair damsel who is bespoken
for the attorney general of the Dutch col
ony. His valet in fit of bibulous boast
ing mentions the wager, and a quarrel is
the outcome of the accusation brought by
| he attorney general A duel with dice is
/ proposed. In the second act the duel Is
fought, but the French secretary at New
Amsterdam, who has discovered the identity
OF the captain, oogs the dice and the attor-
ney general loses The cheat is discovered
and the gallant Debonnaire is again &C
cused He is taken away to the Dutch
prison, 10 be hanged as a spy. In ac
three, while the captain is In prison await
ing execution. the attorney general behave,
like a rufian toward Rene. but she Il
saved by the appearance of the captain
who breaks in the door and dispatches tn,
rude Dutchman by a few well directeS
passes OF the sword. II isn't made cleal
J how the captain got out of prison. but hi
} appearance is timely. The fourth act Il
