Long bo fore the hour for the play to begin the house was crowded with an anx ions throng to see the play begin. At nine o’clock the curtain rose and everything was still, the utmost quietness prevailed that you could hear a pin fall throughout the play. There was not the naed of any officer to preserve order as the actors held them spell-bound btoughout the play to see such at tainments of the theatrical skill im planted in the Negro race. C. 11. McCarthy as “Switcha” was as nat ural as old “Sample Switchel” him self was hailed with applauses whenever he appeared. Too much praise cannot be said of 11. O. Waters as “Joe Morgan” for he was having them as natural as the original “Joe” could himself. The talk of all the town is let ns know when you get ready to pLy again and their presence will always greet our hall. F, W.
