While It -was not a capacity house which greeted the company Monday night, yet It was a thoroughly appre ciative one, especially after the first two acts. At Plney Ridge” Is In four acti two outside and two Inside scenes—and the scenic department has fitted the play up In excellent taste.

The girl returns his love, and the'octoroon’s real son, who has been told the real story of his life, makes It known publicly that the young man from Plney Ridge la the pegro-talnted boy. The proof Is so strong that every one hfca to believe It, against tbelr Judgment. That Is a running story of the play, and Its last two acts abound In thrills kslore.
