Feb. ffl^Among the

AMI MEMKNTH.

HKART8 OF OAK.

A large and enthusiastic audience witnessed the production of this play at the Opera House last night. It is a story of an honest sailor's love and sacrifice.

The hero Terry Dennison is left protector of two orphans, Ruby Daroll and Chrystal, a boy and girl.

As they grow up, they naturally become lovers. He leaves home for a considerable, time, and during his absence the adoptecffather learns that he loves his ward, apd she ima sense of gratitude accepts his

proposal of marriage. The results of the marriage is a little girl. Meanwhile, Ruby has returned, the lovers meet, and explanations are made. Terry overhears the interview, and resolves to go away which he does, making Ruby promise that after a lapse of five years, if he did not return, he (Ruby) should marry Chrystal.

He goes away to the Artie seaa, and returns in six yeafs, old and blind. He meets his little daughter, whom he has been longing to embrace and also Ruby, and after an interview with his wife expires at the home of one of his old friends.

James A. Heine personated the character of Terry Dennison and a very realistic piece of acting it was.

Katherina Corcoran and little Alice Hamilton fairly surpassed themselves. The play will again be prodnccd tonight.

Seldom has a play made such a pronounced hit. The indorsement of the approbation of the large cities east of here was most generously accorded.—St. Louit Globe-Democrat, Feb. 24, 1880.

The characters are kept constantly in action, and neither the eye nor the ear grow weary. The lines sometimes sparkle wit: and others, glow with a sentiment that is pleasant ana wholesome.—Chicago Tribune, Feb. 10, 1880.

An intensely interesting humane story. The piece is closely constructed, and contains some unusually powerful dramatic situations.—Chicago Time*, Feb. 16, 1880. .•# .-ALICE OATi#8.
