TI{1E NEW STYLE OF DRAMA. -0 A PLOT THAT IS SLIGHTLY MIXED BUT REPAYS PER USAL. What a San Francisco Critic Thinks of the Play of Evangelino---A Graphic Description. [ Ferom the California Spirit of the Times.] The story of R!,vangelinc, now being played at the Grand Opera House, this city, is not as intricate as one Victor Hugo's novels, nor as clear as one of Miss Thackery's, but it tells , stay, however, let Mr. Goodwin give the argument in his own fashion : As a rule we dislike to got into an argument with anybody, but for the benefit of those persons who, having left their spectacles at home, are unable to see the plot of Evangeline, we have waived all personal feelings and consented to explain a few intricacies which may not be apparent at first sight. Some years before the curtain rises -that is to say, looking back beforo the action of the piece begins what we mean is, soine timo prc vious to the date of the play's com mencement-on second thought, we will begin this argument difler ently. Evangeline, the heroine, is Basil's daughter and in love with Gabriel, who reciprocates her affection. They are to be betrothed to each other, and to the great joy of LeBlanc, the officiating notary, who alone knows the fact that an uncle of Evangeline, who died some years before the rising of the cur tain, left his money to her on con dition that she never lbetrothed Gabriel, whom he hated, becauso ho (Gabriel) had onco shouted out, "There goes old Skeesieks !" at him (the uncle) when he (Gabriel) was a boy, and ho (the uncle) was going along the street in front of his (Gabriel's) house. This, it will be perceived, is ingenious, as it gives a motive for introducing a will, without which no modern piece can very well got along. It also ex, emplifies tho old proverb, "Where there's a will, there's a way." If she betroths Gabriel the money is to go to LeBlanc, this being a provision of the will ; and as LeBlanc has the will, all ho wants to find is tho way to get the young couple betrothed, so ho can comc into possession of the large fortune. By this it will be naturally inferred that LeBlanc is a villain. Do not let it be thought for a moment that his motives are mereenary---far from it I He is in love with Cathc rino, tiabriel's mother, and fears she will reject him unless he is wealthy, which he is not, vet. If he marries her, and her son mar ries Evangeline, and lie has obtain ed Evangeline's monoy, and Cath. erine's son has become his son, and his money goes to his son, and his eon naturally settles some of it onI his son's wife, who is Evangeline perhaps we had bettor go on with the argument-but any wamy the money will be in the family ju.st thme same. This is some what confus ing at first sight, but it will repay study. Evangeline is rather romantic, loving to get into exciting situa tions, because she is a heroine. So she hides two sailors, wvho have deserted from a man-of-waru lying in the bay near Basifs house. Just as a lot of guests had assembled at Basil's house to see his daughter betroth Gabriel, and just as she has signed "Eva-" and is going 'in to write "-ngeline," the captain of the man-of-war' enters the house with a file- of soldiers, searches the premises, finds the deserters, and arrests Evangeline for abotting them. He says she must go to England to be tried by a court martial, and Gabriel volunteers to go too. LeBlanc, anxious to get the rest of her name signed to tue contr'act, says he will also go, and Cather,in, in a truly noble spirit, - and one worthy of imitattion, decides to become the chaper'onne of the party. The ship starf.s for Eng - land, but meets with a storm, and is ship*recked on the coeast of Africa,Aiid our pai ty of friends are forced to become Africani exp)lorers. They come across the diamond fields, and are arrested by the poli'cemen of the African monarch, 4 Boorioboola Gha, on the charge of stea1ldg j.ewols which belong to tihe crown,, They are tried, convicted, and sentqned to be beheaded ; but T ~It ioigsdesirable not to have the play ed ab- this point, LeBlano luckily recognizes the king as a maqon--having once carried a hod on ehdaIe ladder 'withO him--and owlp t: hils unaexpeclha fortuitous conjl9 n~R o~ circumstances, the ~king o4lne thenm all, A balloon them ; but this is our argumont., not theits.] They doptrt iii t.h balloon, and are liown to At izow-i, whore they meet with various ex, citing adventures, which must. be seen to be appreciat"d. .Finally they find the U. P. It. Rt., and got homo. The Captain obtains Evatn geline's pardon, and she is betrothed to Gabriel, to .LeBlanc's intense delight. A little breeze o excito m1-lent which springs up at. the last moment is alluyed, and the eurt:in falls on at happy and re-united r public.
