G. 1\ A. 2 e "Tom Sawyer" tl The presentation on Tuesday evening of ' 'Tom Sawyer"' by Will Burton and his company delighted the largest c audience of the season. ' The play J abounds in laughable situations, but is J interspersed with scenes touching and A pathetic. Mr. Burton, who played the ^ title role, is a comedian of marked ability. His witticisms and clever A songs took well with the. audience 1 which throughout the evening was in ' the best humor possible. } The entire company seems to be a J good one, and their success seems to be based on substantial merit; but we think the venerable Judge Sawyer was the favorite of the audience Tuesday night, and in our opinion justly so. Several characters, which we don't c think belong1 to tlie original Tom ? Sawyer, were introduced, but this did not in the least detract from the merits of the play. It was Tom Sawyer even if it was not just exactly as Mark c Twain wrote it. On the whole it was v a very creditable performance. ^ _ ii UJfl'JCIC LOXGTO H.Y ITEMS. ? V Uitek Lonctown, S.
