A Texas RaDQef.

In presenting "A Texas Rang
err" to the theatre goers of this
city, Manager Hoskins wishes to
impress upon the minds of those
wishing to see this great New
York production that it is not a
Jesse James story or that of any
bandit king. but an emotional
drama which appeals strongly to
some of the best and MODEST feel
ings in human nature and is calcu
lated to effect more good than a
hundred dry moral disquistions
from the pulpit The more fire.
quent production of plays of this
stamp on the stage would do much
to dispel the cant which is so
prevalent among many worthy
people as to the injurious in
fuence of the playhouse.
The impression of the story of
"a Texas Ranger" is undeniable.
1t holds the public as if in a spell,
first through the dramas swiftling
shifting scene and its striking
contrasts aud its awe inspiring
representation of the incident
happening on the western plains.
The best evidence of A Texas
Rangers" high worth may be
found in the fact that American
audiences, high strung and crav-
ing excitement even in the play
house, are held as if in the giants
hand by its quiscent charm, be
cause the work has the elements
that 60 close to the heart" The
piece is to be presented at the
opera house Monday. Jan. 81.
