mp AND Tuck Wednesday night,
and The Corsican Brothers" Thursday
night. Two plays. on successive even
ings, and good ones. The cup of hap
piness is filled to overlooking. 1t will
only need a sliding back to Genes"
chairs, and small boy yelling "fansr'
to make one imagine he is in metropoli-
tan amusement house. Speaking of
The Corsican Brothers, we are sorry
to see that in that dueling act, Harry is
foolish enough to fight it out with
swords. This is Il serious mistake
Now, if he would only select shot
guns with ducR-shot, he would make
the other fellow think he had drawn a
ticket in dynamite explosion. In
those early days, when Harry chased
the festive mud hen around the marshy
confines of Lake Winnebago-only stop
ping long enough to convice some UNI
wary traveller that three hard, cling
stone peaches for ten cents, was dirt
cheap, and almost ruinous to the mer-
chant-he was a bad man at the business
end of u shotgun. If the old gun did
not get in its work too sudden, he was
always sure to bring something down,
even if it was small boy over in the
next field. But he had discriminating
eye, when it came to dividing up the
game, and it has caused us many sleep
less nights trying to puzzle out how it
was that shots aimed by us with the
best intentions at some handsome NAL
lard, perversely angled off into the side
of some old blank diver. But the ques-
ton was solved at last, although Harry
always swore we made mistake to sup
pose he did not know the difference be-
tween bird that always waited to see
where your shot were going to strike
before it moved, and genuine, high
bred, juicy-breasted mallard. He al
ways felt SO hurt that we never urged
the point. But when he comes here,
ready to accept small swords instead of
shot-guns or that old rifle with the bro
ken stalk, just because some fool author
wrote the play that way, why, we are
forced to believe that he has given so
much time to shining up the top rounds
of his profession, as to choke off the
good seed we tried to sow in those ear
her days. However, we are going with
the rest of the folks, to see just how he
does it, although we shall, all the
same, continue to bet long odds that
Harry would rather have that old rifle
or be knocked half way across the stage
by that other ancient relic. 1t might
be trifie exciting for the audience, but
as the old gun scattered badly. the list of
casualties wouldn't be SO very large.
