Bradley Theater

Manager Morrill, is giving his pa irons pictures of unusual excellence, and the audiences are apnreeiaiive of his efforts to please and satisfy.
 The Price-Burnham company pre- sented sketch this week, which al- tn ough short, called for dramatic abi- ity on the part Of the actors. It was somewhat unusual in that II opened with a rehearsal of scene from dra- ma, which merges into the real life of the actors, and was admirably staged.
 When A play can grip, enthrall, in- terest and at the same tune make life seem worth living 1t may be imme- dlalely stamped as successful. St. Elmo, the next attraction at the Brad. ley theatre, Sept. q, which has been turned into dramatic form by Edwin Hanford, not only does this but gets immediately into the spirit and atmos- phere of the world famous novel which has been and is still popular after so many years. Love is the pivot oil which many Of the stirring situations in the piece revolve. The entire action k dominated by its influence and the gripping and expressing adventures of the hero, St. Elmo Murray, who k re- claimed through the medium of a sweet woman's devotion and fidelity, hold one's attention from curtain To curtain. One is immediately carried away with the beautiful tale unfolded and which runs ihe gamat of all the emotions. It is always human, vibfat- ing and exhilirating The scenes are dovetailed in skillfu style while the development of the plot Is carried out in plausible and highly appropriate manner. IL is a play replete with thrills, pretty stage pictures, romance and surprises and is always gripping and intensely expressing. The man. agement have been careful in their se- lection of players to handle the various characters and finished and accept able interpretation may be looked for. The scenery Is consistent with the period of the play which k laid in the time preceding the Civil war.
