The play in which Mr. Barnes ap pears is entitled "The Chamois Hun t ;r," a German Comedy in four acts. In speaking of the piece the Dra viatic Mirror has to say: The curtain has never been rung up on a better comedy than the "Chamois Hunter". It is the play of a life time full of human interest and human love ranging in the char acter from bright and innocent child hood to the full radiance of tender old age. depicting the life of a young moun taineer who from the depths of de spair is raised to wealth and affluence. There is a self possessed villain, a little child of infantile beauty and angelic sweetness that go to make up part of this great story. The Chamois Hunter as presented by Mr. Barnes and his excellent com pany is put upon the stage in a splen did manner. The scenery is entirely new and picturesque. The merit of the play is that it is full of comedy and sweet singing and has a series of those natural pictures and life like characters that hold the audience from beginning to end.
