Show Theatre. Whoovcr desires to wit- ( noss a bundlo of sensations wrapped j up in a prologue and throe acts should j boo "Through by Daylight," performed per-formed hero lor tho Ural time last night to a crowded house. While presenting pre-senting numerous "slices" of New York life, it contains a mass of improbabilities, im-probabilities, which arc none the less ; acceptable for being so; and in their presentation there is lit t Lo chance to grow drowsy, the interest of tho piece being maintained in tho most lively manner. Each act closes with a sensation sensa-tion Rand a tableau; and while the i multiplied "business" of tho play will, bo improved by a second performance, tho tableaux wore rendered in a most . elteotivo manner. Unlike most pieces which "stars" carry with them, tho ' I attraction is not confined to one promt- j nont character; for while Mr. Ward's is tho central figure, the parts rendered I by MissCouldock, Miss Adams, Messrs. I McKeuzio, Graham, Harris and Thorne aro each prominont, and received jus- ts the piece is being repeated, we reservo dot ii's at:d notices of Fpccial characters to another occasion. i |
