A Stranger in a Straugo Laud.
The Denver Republican of Jan.
6th says: The most admirable
feature of ,lA Stranger in a
Strange Land," which was pre
sented at the Tabor Grand last
evening-, is that the play pos
sesses a somewhat original idea.
Theidca as presented inordinary
English and without any pictures
que embellishments, is that an
ordinary tainily of sober and re
spectable Britons is so ignorant
regarding tho. geography and
civilization of America that a
scapegrace relative can impose
upon a rich aunt and make her be
lieve that he owns a large cattle
ranch in Buffalo and that each
morning he drives liis cattle acrosB
the river to graze in Nebraska.
From the aunt he obtains remit
tances under the pretense that he
needs money to keep his ranch
running and when he returns to
England he takes with him an
Indian as living proof that he has
been in America. Several men
dacious friends of the young man,
who arc anxious to assist him in
the deception, bring m burlesque
Indians and three acts are required
to straighten matters out. This
company will be at .Lloyd's opera
house'tomorrow evenintr, Jan, 15th.
