A picture of darkey life io the good rid times will be presented at the Thatcher -- Opera House on Friday night, Dec. 31st, in the production - of Harry Martells scenic play The South Before the War. It is a play full of suggest-ivenee- s plantation scenes familiar to those who knew tbe South iu slavery times. The typical southern darkey with all his eccentricities predomlnateaiojhe company, though the realistic portrayal - of. .the white actors fairly hides tbeir identity. The play introduces cleverly a number of scenes that are positively life-lik- e, beginning with Under a Southern Sky, which pictures the return d an escaped slave, including many incidents of ante-belludays, dancing of every description, and genuine old darkey melodies.AAn-othe- r scene depicts a darkey camp meeting, with "All"" the "peculiar characters usually 6eeu there, and all the ceremony, singing, shouting, and amuring' incidents that are known to characterize such a gathering. Other realistic scenes follow one upon another until the audience is fairly refreshed with glimpses of old time darkey life, and is finally treated to a newfangled cake walk. The company is a very large one, containing some 50 people, who travel in their own palace car, and have as one of the features a pickaninny band of 17 little colored boys, who head the parade of the company . which starts from The Thatcher Opera House on Friday, Dec. 31st, at 11:30 a. m. f of-those m ' . shed, Within that hallowed ground our dead - Sleep till the coming dawn Of that furetold, effulgent ray, Thatvshines to introduce the day, The resurection morn.
