. Theatrical..
Thrilling with dramatic power from
beginning to end is "The Leopard's
Spots", the new play of Thomas Dix
on, which was presentedat the Acade
my of Music twice yesterday. There
were large audience at both perform
ances, and they showed their appre
ciation by frequent applause. The
play has that gripping interest char
acteristic of everything that Thomas
Dixon writes, and whether you admire
it or detest the grimly unadorned
manner of Its presentation the play
is followed throughout, with taut
nerves. There is no mistake in its
aim. It is clear as crystal, and there
is no getting around the lesson it
teaches.
Its purpose is to show that the white
man is the lord of creation, born to
rule and determined to carry out the
mandate of nature. It aims further to
show that the negro's place in the
world is not among the high and
mighty, but as a hewer of wood and a
drawer of water. Educate him and a
good workman is spoiled and a worth
less citizen made.
In keeping with the dramatic char
acter of the play was the superb act
ing. Each did his part well and there
was no fumbling. The hero is St.
Clare, the revolutionist, which is
played by Mr. Fred. J. Adams. Dillon
Deasy as Tim Shelby, the negro edu
cator, gets off his' part handsomely,
and there is no trouble in guessing
the identity of the character repre
sented. Alpheus Lincoln as George
Harris, the rich negro editor, has a
hard part to play but he does it strik
ingly true to life and against great
odds, especially with a Wilmington
The part played by Miss Viola Fitz
patrick, of Marion Lenoir, stenogra
Dher of the negro editor, is a woman
of charming personality. Tom Camp,
the - old Confederate veteran, piayea
by Richard Barrows, brings a touch
of sadness into the play.
Other characters that occupy prom
inent roles are General Worth, Tom
Camp's old commander, played by
Carl Bates; Everett Lowell, a North
ern philanthropist, played by Graham
Earle, and Helen Lowell, his daugh
ter, day ed by Edith Chase. Joe, Gen-
eral Worth's butler, is strikingly true
lO me, aiiu jixciuu, luc - my nunc,
also acted his part well. c
Before the opening of the third -act,
both at the matinee' and last night,
Mr. Thomas Dixon appeared before
the curtain and paid a splendid trib
ute to his native State. He eulogized
the life of the late Col. Alfred M.
Wiaddell, of this city, to whom he de
clared he owed the inspiration which
led him to write "The Leopard s
Spots." The Wilmington Revolution
of 188, he said, gave him the idea
upon which the whole structure s of
the book and play rests.
He said that he had two warnings
to make which he had tried to bring
out in the play, the first of these be
ing that if millions continue to be
voted to educate the negro along pres
en lines that within 50 years there
will be a condition of anarchy in the
South. The second warning, he said,
was that State laws cannot be relied
upon to protect society, On an aver
age there are three negro men every
day in New York city who marry
white women. The time has come, he
declared, when the ; President, Sena
tors and Congressmen must be told
that they shall see to it that there
shall not be left one foot of soil be
neath the American flag where a negro
man can marry- a white woman.
He was warmly applauded during
the course of his short address and re
ceived an ovation at its close.
Big Music- Show Twice Tomorrow.
And now the Academy of Music
turns from the serious to the merry,
and the best of merriment, too, as em
bodied in the bright, fascinating mu
sical comedy. Such musical comedy,
too. Tomorrow, matinee and night,
the Academy will offer the - well known
comedian Bert Leigh, and - a fine
company in the great George M. Co
han jingling concoction, "The Littie
Millionaire," and a special scale of
prices will prevail. The matinee will
be 25 and 50 cents to any part of the
theatre, while the scale at night will
be $1 for seats downstairs, 50 and 75
cents for the balcony, with 25 cents
for gallery.- -Seats for tomorrow
night's performance go on sale at J.
.Hicks Bunting's drug- store this morn
ing at 8:30 o clock.
Bert Leigh does not come unherald
ed by flattering tributes from , the
press. The papers of this State, as
well as those of Virginia, have sung
his praises. This comes from the
Greensboro Daily News:
"Bert Leigh appeared in 'The Little
Millionaire' last night at the Grand
and for $1 put up a show far better
than many that run to twice the price
of admission. He carries only about
a dozen people, but he is a whole show
in himself; and his supporting cast is
carefully selected and capable.
. "Mr. Leigh is peculiarly suited to
the sort or thing that George Cohan
delights to write; and the combi
nation between author and actor last
night was a very happy, one. Cohan's
plays are pretty light,. but they are in
variably clean, and with Bert Leigh
playing the leading role they are de
lightful. Mr. Leigh is a comedian, not
a clown: and during- the second act,
where he shone particularly bright, he
kept the house in a roar from the
time the curtain went up until it came
down with real humor, not 'burlesque
"Miss Hazele Burgess, as the maid,
was charming; her song with Edwin
Kerr, as the butler, was one of the
i three hits of the piece. The other- two
were Mr. Leigh s asseveration that
'Barnum Had the Right Idea,' and the
policeman's medley. The last, indeed
was encored until . the singers were
worn out." - .
Big Minstrel A'ttractipn.'

The Bijou,-as usual, has a big of

that will especially please all comers,
as its variety is of the best and there

be headed by Kalem's "Retribution,"

strike fire from every heart. It is
the tale of a flirt, who breaks hearts,
even sending one man to prison. But
she has her day of reckoning, when
she marries the man she sent to pris

an ex-convict. It is full of human
