NIGHTS PLAY

Cosno Hamilton's newest play in
four acts, 1.-The Blindness Of Virtue
was seen at the Pensacola Opera
House last night by q surprisingly
small but apparently well entertained
audience.
1t is q. strong play. In several scenes
there are moments when the audience
loses itself I'm the plot of the play and
feels a genuine, intimate sympathy for
the characters on the stage. There are
only seven in the cast but each of
these does exceptionally wen the
chosen part,
There was something different,
something delightful refreshing, some
thing In the way OF a pleasant sur
prise about THE Blindness of Virtue"
The few who attended the play seemed
to be well pleased with it; the pity is
that the audience was SO small. for it
is not every day that such a show as
The Blindness OF Virtue" comes to
town.
