"Neck and Neck," o: , as it might be sub-titled "a race fo: , life between innocence and villainy,' i was presented for the first time hen ; last night, to a large and appreciative , audience. It is a curious combination I of the pathetic, absurd, ridiculous and sensational. Tho hangjog scene i; painfully real, and it is doubtful if public pub-lic sentiment will be greatly improved by such an exhibition. But the taste of the times demands realistic and sensational sen-sational effects, and generally the less that is left to the imagination, of the , horrible, and the more thrillingly sensational sen-sational plars now are, the larger are tho audiences which assemble to wit-iness wit-iness their -performance. "Neck and Neck" will satisfy the most exacting in this respect, every act bristling with sensational effects. Mr. Stetson is a good actor, and makes the most of a ( character which the author Las made the best playing part in the piece. The plot is full of surprises and excitements, ex-citements, and there is sufficient humor ' in the play to relieve the more sombre parts. The picca is likuly to have a (run, as it has all the elements to ;draw good houses. The characters ! generally we will notice again. |
