Mr. Hart has been fortunate iu the

did John I lay Cassar, the Colonel Har

CALLED BBIOSI THE CURTAIN,
At the end of tbe sncoti 1 act there
were repeated calls for Mr. Hart aud
in response, to them he came before thu
curtain and made a short speech of a
humorous character, cloning by begging
his auditors to givo him an honest ex
pression of what they considered were
the principle fliwa in "A Diogiiter
of Dixie."
Considering that it wa the third
production of tho play the performance
passed off iuot smoothly, it is a cleror
drama, it pleased last night's audience
and seems destined to win a warm
place in the hearts of tbe theater goers
of America.
Tonight Scranton theater goers will
have another opportunity of seeing "A
Daughter of Dixie" and it should be
greeted by a crowded house.
