P NORTH PACIEIC BREWING CO., ASTORIA, OREGON. i James Nell Plays to Large and I Appreciative Audience. The romantlo drama, "A Gntlman of France," was certainly appreciated by the house full of people that greet ed James Ketlt and his excellent com pany at Fishers." last night. There It no long, drawn-out plot about the play but from start to finish "A gentleman of France4' is full of life and action, winning the applause and praise of the targ audie.ice. The action of the play centers around Mr. NeilU who, as Gaston de Marsae, a poverty stricken genth man, conveys Mile, de !a Vlre, niece of the Vieomte de Turenne to a certain place that she may Impart certain information: to the king of France. Around this thread of plot is woven an endless chain of ac cidents and Incidents in connection with attempts of emissaries of M. de Bruhl to secure possession of the girl. Not the least of these is the striking finale of the second act, when de Mar ac. standing at the head of a stair esse, slays, one at a time, six men who seek to overpower him and capture the fair prisoner. The applause at the ter mination of ih act evoked a double curtain call. ! Mr. Nelll won the hearts of his aud ience by his manly bearing and speech His wife, Edythe Chapman, also estab lished herself In popular favor. The support was very good, but limited space forbids further personal mention. The company leaves today by steamer for San Francisco, thence to Honolulu, where the next staid occurs.
