The Limited Mall

which will be playedherenextTuesday night, on account of the company's being compelled to fill out two week because of the fireatMcVicker's theatre, Chicago, is certainly a big succees. Everywhere it meets with crowded houaes and hundreds turned away. The following clipped from the Commercial Gazette, Cincinnati, of September 1, speaks for itself: The story of the play is a simple but remarkably interesting one, , the arene beinglaid in the west on the Uuion 3c Railway. The station agent hasbecomeimplicatedinthewreckingof a train by which several passengers wtre killed. He finds a tiny and very pretty baby in the wreek, and, overeóme by remorse, adopta and rears it as his own. The first actintroducesthe gir a , merry, lighthearted, lovable young lady who assists her adopted lather in his sfetion duties.and 8 known along the line as Nellie, the sweet manipulator ot tue W ReJdwood Malion is the scène of both the tirst and second acts. In the hrst ■ he love making between Charle8Matin and the heroine, Nelhe Harland, with the telegraph key and sounder as a medium, is one of the most novel features ever introduced on the stage. Charley'fl words, " My little darhng, I l.ve you. Will you be my wife? are spelléd out upon the ïnsirumeui u to be distiuetly audible in all parta of thr„h,hee8econd act many of tbe foibles and peculiarities of the travehng public are brought out in amanner as realistic as it is amusing, and the audience was in a continual roar of laughter. But i f the second act was great the third was still more conducive to cheers and wild enthusiasm.when the fligWof the limited mail and the wonderful telegraph scène, where the words of the message " Fryour Ufe bold the limited mail," flasbed out upon the wires in jaggèd letters of fire, the message ltself beii-.g sent by Jim Harland, who has accidently discovered the plot to wreek the train, and who climbs to the top of the telegraph pole, cute the wire and sends the warning dispatch. Of the characters in the piay, ioci much cannot be said. The Nelhe Harland of Miss Florence Bindley is complete and artisücin every renpect. Master Harry Blaney, as "Jim Harland, an ambitious kid," is immense, and fulnlls the promises of the management to otfer us a wonder. Barney OReagan, the section man, as preseniedby Joe Coyne, is a fiae piece of work, and stamps tum as a good, pure metal. The death of John Giddingo, the villain, is the heaviest hit of acting done in the play, and Mr.Alex.Randolpbdoesit to pertecüon. The part of Zeke Harland, the old depot master, station agent and general Jack of all trades, is very acceptably presented by W. J. Dixon, an old Oincinnati iavorite. _,',.. Miss Viola Vanee a Clara Glddings, Nellie's rival, was a neat bit of coquettish acting and deserved the round of applause accorded her. Manager Vanee can congratúlate himself upon having a certain winner, and of making one of the greatest hits ever made in this city.
