'the White Squadron"

will be seen at the Grand Opera House Oct. 8, 1894. The scenic beauties of " The White Suadron " are admired by the lovers of this class of play. The story tells of the gathering of the war-ships of the several nations, which gives ampie opportunity for stage effects, and in conjunction with the work of the dramatist is also occasion for many thrilling situations. Among the scènes incidental to the play is the hárbor of Rio, and the grand plaza of the town, a pillaged monastery, and the American fleet under full sail. These are all put on in a manner that leaves little to be desired in the picturing of the drama. One especially effective scène is in the third act when over 100 people are appropriately grouped, with a result entirely pleasing to the eye. Life in South America is also depicted with realism and truthfulness, which at the same time never mars the even tenor of the story that goes on to a clear and rapid finish. The cast does notdifïerin the main from other seasons, and the various actors show abundant proofs of their histrionic merit. Mr. YV. A. Whitecar plays the part of the hero in a manly, picturesque fashion, and becomes the idol of the gallery in short order. Laura Almosnio, Frederick Juhen, Robert NeiL, J. V. Smilley, Will F. Phillips, Miss Laura Booth, 'and Edith Julien take the various parts in a capable manner, and present " The White Squadron" as pleasingly as ever it has been given in the past.
