Belle of Richmond.
Miss Mabel Paige and her stock COM
pany appeared at the Virginia theater
last night in 1.-The Belle of Richmond"
a drama by Sidney Toler. Miss Paige and
her company have begun what promises
to be a lengthy engagement in Birming-
ham at the Virginia theater, presenting
an unusually good list of plays and
changing the bill from week to week.
If the opening performance is any in
dication of what is to come in the fu-
ture, It is safe to predict that both Miss
Paige and her company will be very
popular among theater-goers The per-
Torrance last night was very we'll done
by a company above the average. Mss
Paige herself is young woman who has
much charm of manner, and her stage
appearance is pleasing. She took the
leading part last night in a very accept
able way, and the support, with only one
or two exceptions, was quite good.
1.-THE Belle of Richmond Is rather in
teresting in its story and affords oppor-
tunities for the introduction of some typ
ically southern characters, which were
well portrayed by the various members
of the company to whom they were al
lotted The central the}le is one of love,
woven around two bouquets of roses, a
white and red, which are confused in
the opening part of the play, and the
result almost estranges forever the belle
of Richmond and the man whom she
loves.
There is a villain, and the efforts of
himself and a low-browed accomplice to
rob bank furnish the more exciting ele-
accused, but he is cleared by the efforts
of the man whom the belle loves. The
man she has promised to marry. under
the impression that her love had been
scorned by the hero, is proven villain,
but not without a manly streak in him,
and the ending is conventionally happy.
The play and the performance of 1t
proved to be clean and entertaining. The
Virginia was well filed with an audience
that seemed to be well pleased Miss
Paige and her company play especially
for the ladies' and children, and in most
of the southern cities she is general
favorte 1t is proposed to make the
Virginia theatre the home of good, clean
plays, put on by stock company at
popular prices. The management seems
to have made a fortunate choice In the
Mabel Paige company.
Among the members of the company. IN
addition to Miss Paige, who showed abil-
ity last night, were Clarence Chase, as
Gerald Gorden": John B. Whiteman, as
civilian Osmond''; Harry B. Castle, as
