"The New Muggs' Landing," with Miss Victoria Temple in the title role, Is n play of tho M'llss order, but is original and al. together pleasing, without the slightest taint of vulgarity or Immorality. Wherever it has been played the papers with one ac cord speak In the highest praise of the compiny which presents it, and especially of the charming young actress, Miss lem nle. who assumes the leading part. Of tho play itself that excellent dramatic critic, thf Philadelphia HenUler, speaks as follows! 'Muggs' Landing" Is a big success and l'Ivcs nromlse of enjoying a long run, It is more than Is claimed for It. UnUke most plays, It is strongly dramatic, without the usual murder, betrayals suicides, etc, There Is not a weak poiut or a superflnus line In the whole construction. It is chaste and charming, with sudden transforraa. tlons from tho subllmo to the ridiculous. Tnuedy and comedy are deftly Interwoven and thrilling situations are mo jewels in the crown of the most enjoyable nonsense Buch seems to be tho opinion of every per- son present. Tho audience fairly scream cd with applause. Tbo applause was often so prolonged and vociferous as to Interrupt the actors In their parts, thus stretching the play until eleven o'clock. As tho cur, talu fell on the closing scene the audience with ono voice cried, "como again." "The New Muggs' Landing, will bo at the Bloomsourg Opera House Monday evening, December 6th.
