Show THE OCTOROON. Commencing Sunday Feb. 17, the Lyric Stock company -will present fQr one week the beautiful Southern drama in five acts, "The Octoroon." This play deals with slavery days in the south and over it hangs all the mystic glamour of the days "Befo de war." The story is one that appeals ap-peals to every heart dealing as it does with the life and love of a young slave girl through whose heart flows seven red drops of blood but is poisoned pois-oned by the eighth drop being black, that one black drop permits her to be sold at public auction to the highest high-est bidder. There is a strong comedy vein running run-ning all the way through the piece, and the situations are strong, with some very thrilling climaxes, making altogether a very pleasant evenings entertainment. The great knife fight between the villain and the Indian and the burning of the good ship Magnolia are two of the strong features. Do not fail to see the little darkies with their songs and dances. |
