It seems to be the fad just now with all traveling theatrical com panies to have their pianist play while the act is going on. It is supposed to add solemnity to pa thetic scenes. But unfortunately there are so many pianists who want to impress the audience with the fact that they are the whole thing, that they play so loud that it is impossible to understand the words of the actors. In the Blooms burg Opera House the acoustic properties are such that it would be better to eliminate the piano except between acts. It is hard tor both the players and the audience to buck up against the fellow who is jiggling off a rag-time tune while somebody is trying to die on the stage. Gordon & Bennett's beautiful production " The Holy City " was seen by a fair sized and apprecia tive audience at the Opera House Tuesday evening. The play is dis tinctly religious and diners but lit tie from the bible story. There are many intensely dramatic lines and each member of the talented com pany was equal to every occasion, The scenery was gorgeous, the cos tumes resplendent and historically correct and the production through out elaborate and thoroughly pleas ing. It was unfortunate that it came this week as many people who - would like to have seen it were obliged to forego the pleasure because of their connection with the German Reformation, a local affair which is to be given Friday and Saturday evenings. It will be pleasing therefore to know that " The Holy City " has been booked for next season when all those who missed it this time will have an op portunity to see this truly excellent play.
