Richmond, Va. 90 Cents Per Qt. Bottle HHDIMS BET Present Play in Fine Style at the Academy, and Are Much Enter tained While Here. "The Arcadians," tho dramatlo oluh ,f tho Unlverslty ot Vlrglnla, mado norry upon the Aeadomy stago last ilght, and affoidod no end of umuso ueht to a goodly gathcrlng that hud issembled to wltness tho boys carry iff tho honors of comlo opora. There vere several box parties. Tho au Ilonco, though rot overflowlng as to lumber. was overflowlng in good hu nor, and when tlie hlpless chorus, In ratly-colored frocks, went through the -racoful movoments of a Spanlsh 'dance, here was a rlpplo of laughter, min jled wlth app'ause, that spread from he front orchcstra row to tho topmost ;kllery. Made Them Lnugh. The hoys "dld" "La Serena." and they lld It brown. "La 8erena" Is styled o Mesican comlo opera, but lt doesn't qulte deserve that tltle. It Is a musl :al hodg-s-podg.v the several composers from whom tho selectlons have beon borrowed belng thanked very klndly ln the program. G.

Dorothy seemed to bo sufferlng wlth a sllght cold. but this dotracted vpry little frori her manly voice, and the falr one't muslcal numbors each ncored a hlt. 'Tell Me I.ovo's Story Agnln" wns rendered by Mr. Zlmmor ln a very cffecttve mannor. John Luck. as Burke CorroU. took up a vaFt deal of ?tage room. There was no questlon as to hls right to occuny the centre of the stage. he being tho comedlan, ln the flrst place, and ln the second place, the centre of the Academy stago not being large enough for any one else to shnre lt wlth him. Mr. Liick ls somewhat ponderous, and his efforts to keap tlme to a rather llvely dance step were ludicrous ln the extreme. The orchestra should have given him a handlcap of several bars, so that the two would havo got ten together at tho linlsh. But Mr. Luck was all right. barring boing a little over tho weight for the race wlth a Spanlsh two-step. He.made thc laughs, and that was hls mlsslon. Dld Good Work. E. D. Cameron aldcd and abctted in tho funmaking. He played a sleutli. and went after hls vlctim much ns ? kangaroo gets up and hustlos when It wnnts to keep Its skln wholo. K. S. Oraham was trlm looklng as Ealkland Cary, and would certalnly have made tho matlnee glrls look at him twico II an afternoon performance had beon given. A. D. Bedol, the Spanlsh mald en, wlth a largo assortment of cutlery looked as If he could use the lattet very effectlvely, and Mr. Graham, at tho unwllllng lover, would have stood a poor chanco ln a cutttng scrape wltt him. Rlchard Tunstall, ln hi8 drinking song, wns heartlly encorcd, and he took a Becond bumper on the strengtl of it, and a little slgh that escapot him as he dralned the contents of tht gloss rather lmpressed the audlonc< wlth tho idea that lt wasn't propertj cold tea. Messrs. Frazior, Lawson and Mur phy squoezed out of thelr parts every thlng that tho ro'cs affordnd, and mor thnn this no one could do. The chorus wns made up as follows Men?John Philllps.
