Y theatrical on tuesday evening mr waldron took his benefit and had llad a good house on the tiie occasion the new play of osceola ty by mr lar sloan was performed in a avery very creditable manner we understand it was produced on rather short notice and considering that fact hine nine much h credit Is due to the company for the style in which it was rendered the first and second acts dragged a little the language ge in some parts evidently not having had sufficient study which would have been avoided with a little longer time for preparation still those two acts might perhaps be cut cut down to advantage and run into one thereby making a four act instead of a five act play of it the old orthodox five act tragedy Is not so rigidly held to now and four act plays 1 are becom becoming in quite common As a composition osedo osceola i will never take tako rank among the higher class of dramatic works but in stage effect sensational incidents and well arranged business it presents all the elements of being a successfully playing piece indian dramas aro are not the kind of thing thing that is much cared for herece here we are too well acquainted with the living realities yet osceola gave much satisfaction on tuesday night which speaks well for its Us success where mr indian is rather more of a novelty than he Is in these valleys tha tho piece Is 13 constructed on n the principle adopted by the best sensational playwrights playwrights of the day dayt gradually exciting a variety air oi interests and concentrating concentration ratin them toa ton to a look looked ed for point where a tragic denouement denouement is expected and apparently consummated which leaves the audience in doubt when the curtain falls with the sensational business at its climax in osceola the first two acts apparently aim at creating an interest in favor of the chief and wah ra nita and close with the escape of the latter from a plot to capture her which the promptitude of osceola defeats while lie he obtains possession 0 otheT het her father and cousin win g them to be S lreh and dooms them to the tortured tor in the third act a plan Is arranged tak t capture him and ana he Is surrounded by whites led lea by an indian whom they have bribed named toha toh a nee A fiery dialogue ensues and the chief escapes by a coup de main maln leads his enemies into an ambush returns with part of his band and makes another prisoner in the person of nina sister and niece to the two men whom he still holds prisoners in the last scene of the act where ho he determines on their death the power of love conquers even his hate and desiro desire forre and ho he permits them to go free at the pleading of wah ra nita nitz the capture of the indian to pah rl in this act Is an excellent piece of stage comic business and brought the house with a burst the fourth act oct works up to the sensational point which comes at the close where tha destruction of the indians having been planned osceola and his band are attacked he dives into the river iun lun running the gauntlet of pistol shots appears reappears re in another place and Is again fired at again dis wah ra nita pours out a heavy denunciation on those who she believes have killed him at the conclusion of which he Is seen on a high cliff having swam the river and ana after a short Is again fired at and falls as the curtain curtale descends the villain of the piece named harrold arrold II has had his villainy exposed and in the fifth act shows in his true character the sudden reappearance appearance re of osceola as harrold Is 13 carrying onn off nina rina Is a good point the escape of arrold harrold II the capture and subsequent escape of osceola the struggle between arrold harrold II and wah ra nita and the opportune arrival of osceola his summary vengeance inflicted on harrold and his own death are incidents which keep alive the interest and allow no chance for lagging flagging until the curtain drops the characters of
