characters are rapidly consecutive.Thero
is, however, as in all American plays,
more or less pointless conversation and
patriotic and other platitudes coined for
immediate recognition. This i more
than atoned for by bits of chamceriza
tion in themselves strong enough to re
deem even a conventional plot
Taking the play roundly on its merits
it is full of tenderness, of gentleness and
genuine pathos, brimful of wholesome
sentiment. There is hardlyany strained
situations, save perhaps in the inability
of a largo family to rccognizo n 6on and
brother after eighteen years. While
much ot tho presentation lies in tho
strength of the play itself, let me put it
down right here that the company was a
most excellent one, made up of actors
and actresses of refinement Mr. Clem
ent Bainbridge has not only retained
some of the original cast, but seems to
have exercised excellent judgment in the
selection of all members of tbe company.
Coarse or careless acting would readily
ruin this play. These people brought
out its full Value. For this reason it
would be unfair to individualize
Is usual with southern plays it was
replete with "Colonels." One of them
is given lines to speak which I restnt
"Girls raised undtr southern skies have
more poetry and music in them than
those of other parts " This is Blander
pure and unadulU rated. A n?at bit of
acting was done ly one of the ladies,
tbo beauty of whoo mouth and smile
caused one of tho boys to remark that
her mouth bore nature's inscription:
"These lips for kissing only." And this
judgement stands approved.

The Bittner Company has had a very
successful week at tho Funke. Since
they were hero the company has been
strengthened and they presented good
plays very creditably. Ihe vitascope is
thrilling. On Wednesday night when
the policeman caught a runaway horse
ust before it leaped into the parquet,
hose on the front seats gasped with
fear for the magnificent creature had
almost reached them when the
policeman stopped him.
Mr. Eittner is a good comedian and
the company as a whole, is worthy of
the patronage it receives.
THE FCSKE.
All the week the Bittner Theatre
Company has broken all records at the
Funke Opera house. 1 he excellent way
in which the company stage their plays
has made them more than popular in
Lincoln. The Vitiscope has drawn a
large number of people to the theatre
