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.
