Valentine Theatre.
A PAIR OF SILK STOCKINGS.

No more socially important theatri-
cal offering will be presented in this
city this season than "a Pair OF Silk
Stockings" which comes to the Valen-
tine on Monday evening, April 18th,
for three nights. This smart little
comedy, after winning reputation for
itself by an original run of one year
in London, and later a return engage
ment there for several weeks, was pre-
sented in this country for the first
time at the exclusive Little Theatre in
New York City by Mr.. Winthrop
Ames, also manager of that popular
playhouse. In the American metropo-
lis the play duplicated its London sue
cess, remaining at the Little Theatre
all last season. This season the de-
mand for the play was SO great in New
York that Mr.. Ames was compelled to
play it for weeks at the Booth
Theatre.
There is a certain air of distinction
and refinement to this comedy and the
manner of its presentation that is as
welcome as it is uncommon. AS the
title might imply, there are situations
of risque possibilities, but these are so
deftly handled by both playwright and
players that there is never sugges-
ton of indelicacy; just bright, innocent
fun.
The scenes are laid in an English
country house and the settings, par
ticularly the bedroom one, are of un-
usual beauty and exquisite taste. The
characters are people of polite society,
and although there is often more wit
and epigram in their remarks than
could reasonably be expected from
such folks, their speech is in the ver-
nacular, richly garnished with slang
and they seem thoroughly natural and
human.
Sam Sothern, the featured member
of the cast, while not so well known ir
this country as his brother, E. H., has
been a great favorite in London fol
twenty years.

FAVOR CONSERVATION
Of FISH AND CRIBS
sponge" Grabs May Not Be Taken
During July and August--Smail Fish
Must Be Returned To Water.

The Senate Committee on Fish and
Game held a session of three hours
Monday night discussing the Rev bill
regulating the taking of fish and
crabs. The :. bill provides for closing
the season for taking sponge" crabs
during July and August. Hampton
packers are against the bill, while
many OF the Maryland packers. who
operate in Virginia part of tho
time and then go TO Maryland, are in
favor Of the measure.
It. was pointed ont that the crabs
are fast disappearing. and IL Is agreed
that unless there is something done to
protect their destruction by dredges
that within a few years there will he
no crabs In Virginia, the industry be-
ing destroyed.
Another bill also looks to force fish
ermen to Gull their catch when as
much as per cent are five inches in
length or less, The fishermen gencr-
ally favor the proposition. The COM
mittee reported both bills with the
recommendation that they become
laws, and the committee also report
ed several local bills and adjourned
at 1890 O'Clock.
