ported by an able talent, made very
successful season at Bush Street Theatre,
San Francisco, and has been playing to
crowded houses at New Market Theatre,
Portland. The Telegram has this

However that may be, Holland kept the
audience in roars of laughter last night
by his fun provoking peculiarities. The
comedy is one of the best ever put upon
the stage and the amusement created by
this company fully justifies the high
