Ann Albor is soon tobe favorecí with au erening of fun by Mr. Jolin T. Baymond in Iiis nt-w play. Of this fine comedian, and "In Paradi.se," whieli will be presented here on September 7th. the New York Herald says: "Mr. John T. Raymond always 'draws like a house aflre' in Brooklyn, bilt he liad liever played there to quite solarle an audience as crowded the Brooklyn Park Theatrej last Dight, wlien he appeared as the -reconstructecl' Virginia major in his new piece, ' In Paradise.' lt is a semitarcical play, reseinbling those of tlieGerman school in construction, but essentially American. ChieogoaD, In fact, In character and action. It has evidently been written with the view ofkceping Mr. Raymond upon the stage tirst, last, and all the time, and it follows that the fan is incessant. If huiff liter is evidenee of liappiness, those who witnessed the performance last night were 'In Paradise' for a couple of liours. There is much of original and telling incident in the development of the story. In short, it is a play to see, iaugli at, and tlioroughly enjoy without analyzing too closely. The support was good."
