Nice Appearing People, but Bum Actors.

The “Flaming Arrow” company which held forth at the Ellis theater Friday night, was made up of! good looking, well dressed and nice ' appearing people, but the show itself was about the poorest apology for a play that has been seen in' Rensselaer for a long, long time. ! The play itself, as rendered by this company, was devoid of all interest, I and the different acts seemed to, have but little connection. They had ' a fairly good house, but quite a number of the audience, who, with the exercise of considerable will power and against their own in-: clinations, managed to sit through I the first three acts, then got up and j left in disgust. Those who stayed! for the fourth and closing act, were only sorry that they had not fol-; lowed the people who left earlier. Ihe company had a good orchestra, and the music was good, the only redeeming feature of the entire! snow. Just why a bunch of people apparently as clean and well be-| haved as were these, should start out on the road with so poor a play'i and still poorer actors, is beyond the comprehension of intelligent people. : • :
