Roland Reed i'm Cheek.
People enjoyed plenty of "Cheek" at
the theater last night, and it was a
cleyerer budget Of the article than is
usually seen. The way Mr.. Roland
Reed shows Cheek up Is mighty

very tall pole. The performances
we're fine, and the audience was de-
lighted. Roland Reed, as Dick
Smythe, proved a happy character and
made a hit. He was lover and hero
by turns, and in the first act
he sung 1.-THE Beautiful
Boy while 10 the second he gave a
vocal medley, introducing Balfe's air,
Il Dreamt | Dwelt," to words of an
amusing and original nature. In the
fourth act, with little frankie Bishop,
he sung the air of the "Gobble Duet"
from THE M~ascotte," with new
words aud in a style to win. Miss
Bishop is a captivating little elf, as
bright as a diamond and as charming
as a Princess, while for ~vivacity and
general liveliness she cannot be SUR

won every heart. Miss Alice Hastings
