A largo and enthusiastic audience gns'tod Ihc Caroline Gage lroue at tho o'ra house on the evening of the ISlth. tilt. 'Hie pluy was tha scnsutlouul drama "The Galley Slave," aud was finely played by Miss Gage and her splendid aggregation of artistic talent. Miss Gage Is a lady of unquestionable talent and remarkable bounty of voice and K-rsoii. She i a rising star In the dramatic art, a brilliant acta' who uever fulls to enlist tlie fullest sym pathy of her audience. At limes her line talents almost rise to the height of genius, and under no circumstances diw she ever allow the singe Interest to lag, or the pluy to drop Into com1 uionplnoe. Miss Gage Is young In years, aud the full strength of her dra matic, talent Is yet to be developed, ll Isa rare trout to wliues thepcrror muncce of this accomplished ludy on the stage. Mr Kent Thomas Is u young gentleman of some talent, und evidently bus a high opinion of himself, but in spite of minor defects Is quite a creditable urtist. Mr. H. F. Kcetio is nu old stager, and Is erfoet ly ut home when before the foot-light. Miss. Lydla Knot t Is a young lady of evident talent. Her Impersonation of the discarded wife was full of pathetic in tcrert. Hllas Robinson wns the villlan In the pluy, and he manifested consld erable adroitness In Impersonating that character. Mis Kllu Damaiis is a young lady of considerable proiulee and Is quite a piquant und Interesting character. Mr. Geo. L. Hillyer rep resented the hero of the piny, the lover of Cicely Plulne. This young gentleman has none of the dash und chivalrlc d.irlng ho necessary to the churuotcr of a hero-lover. This character could have Is-cn much better plityeu by Mr. Kent TlionniH, but then there would huveheen no owe hi Impersonate the Yankee plll-peddlcr, Mr, Frankllu FlttH. The audience frequently ap plauded the performances, and should die company return again to this city (us they ant!olpute)thry will lie greeted with a full house. The music was quite good. Upon tho whole the play was a success. If you wnnt to take tho woody taste out of a wooden bucket fill the pnil with boiling water, let It remain until cold, then empty it, and wash tlie In side with solution of soda ia luke warm water.
