"WHITE CARGO."
The theme of-"White Cargo," the sensational play of life on a West African rubber plantation, which is now running at the Grand Opera House, is not a sex subject, as one might gather from much of the publicity the production has received. Nor has it any real moral. It is a portrayal of the monotony of life in a tropical hell in which the damp-rot "gets everything." The production of the play is remarkable for the realistic acting pf the leading members of the company. Mr. Leon Gordon, author and producer, Mr. Wallis Clark, Mr. Austin Coghlan, and Mr. Frederick Forrester present distinctly diffeernt types of nerve-wracked humanity, and Miss Helen Stransky, the only woman in the company, plays the halfcaste vampire admirably. Messrs. B. N. Lewis, Scott Alexander, B_rt Barton, and Dion Wheeler have other responsible roles. "White Cargo" will be repeated nightly until the end of the week.
