THE CLANSMAN' IN THE CITY.
Appeared at Matinee ana Night at the
Academy Yesterday.

'FThe Clansman,' Tom Dixon's not
ed play, was the attraction at the
Academy of Music at two perform
ance-matinee and night-yesterday.
The afternoon audience was
small for an attraction with the repu
tation of THE Clansman,' but the
night audience was quite a large one.
The play was witnessed here two
years ago and necessarily there was
lacking the expectancy and anticipa-
ton which greeted the first production
here.
The play has been changed in a few
minor ways from the manner in
which it was first presented and at
least one suggestive scene has been
eliminated, to the satisfaction of the
audience. There still abounds the
thrilling heart stirring scenes and
episodes that arouse the angry pas
sions of men and women and the
Kisses of southern audience at
times which were only rivalled by the
hearty and enthusiastic applause At
other times.
The book and the play are too we'll
known to require any extended COM
ment.
The company Is a good one, better
in some respects and weaker in others
than was the first company. On the
whole it is certain that satisfaction
was given.
