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.' . Primrose and Dockstader, the re united veteran minstrel stars and their all-prominent company of cele brities, will be the attraction at thi Academy- one - week from tomorrow, Saturday, .

However, it is one that will especially please all comers, as its variety is of the best and there is plenty of the dramatic and yet an abundance of comedy. The swell bill, which will be presented in the Bijou's usual charming and magnetic way, will be headed by Kalem's "Retribution," which is a stirring dramatic, that will 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 on, thinking him a Count. He is now an ex-convict. It is full of human interest, as well as thrills. There is another strong dramatic on today in "The Capture of Bad Brown."
