Seventy -Twenty-Eight. +"

The following notice Of this cele-
brated piece appeared in the San
Francisco Post of the DIST ult:
I'VE wish we could chronicle the
fact that crowded houses nightly
had greeted the clever production of
1908, or, Casting the Boomerang"
for the a3ring of the comedy by the
Daily company deserves tie most
merited praise. The comedy itself
is admirably constructed, and has
the rare charm of becoming more
interesting as it proceeds. The
movements become more lively, the
complications greater, the dialogue
more brilliant, the situations pref
tier and the fun breeding laughter
more exhllisratiBg as it proceeds,
leaving one almost loath to leave
the theatre, even when the
green curtain has fallen upon the
applause of the audience. One thing
is certain, that nine teDths If ali
who were wise enough 10 see H. " I'll
agree WI h the optimism OF society
gentlemen of 10 little experience,
who wrote tn the editor of this de-
parfment, 81 think it IS splendid
FlOs is perfect, and tits q shame 10
ee it no better patron zsd." Miss
Ada Rehan can have 10 better in
dOTsement than that little, but most
meaning work. She is not only
charming throughout, but it is cyl
dent that her perfect rendition Of
the character comes not only
from natural ability, but deep
study and observation OF the ways
of the world, Her scenes with her
lover and future husband are as
fascinating and beWitehing as it is
possible to make them, and the post
man scene a most cOmica1 one; and
here it may be said that +, e.
Weber, As the postman, acts well
his little par" Miss Virginia
Dreher, as Dora HoilyhOck, is so
graceful and refined in all her move
InentS and situations, and dreseB
with such artistic taste that she is a
good exampler fer many a lady be-
fore the scenes to follow. She is
well modelled fer a most interesting
character, which she enacts
" it'll great ability. Miss Helen
Legion, as Jessie, the servaDtmaid,
with yearnings above her station,
with her pretty face and figure and
coquetish &irs, adds immensely to
the success Of the piece. She sings
neatly, with light, sweet voice,
and dances pleasingly. The waltz
scene invariably secures a recall.
James Lewis, as LauDCelot Bargiss,
is rich in humoT, and in a rasheT
difficult old man character wins not
only the hearty daughter, but more
grateful still, the rich applause Of
his audience. The SignOr PalmirO
| Tamborini of William Gilbert is 8
very clever piece OfcharacteT acting
and exceedingly funny in his hands.
Messrs. John Drew and York s.
vens, as Courtney COrli8s and Paul
Honyhock respectively, fill all the
requirements Of their parts, the
former especially proving that he is
a most excellent light comedian.
Charles Leclerq, as Professor Gas
leigh. the Bohemian fraud, exhibits
! excellent ability in the role, az does
Mr.. w. II. Beekman as JObbins.
Mrs. g. H. Gilbert, az Mrs. Hypatia
Bargiss, the shrewish, yet &fiee-
tionate wife of Launcelot Bargiss,
acts the part almost the perfection,
and her efforts are we'll recognized
by the audience. Mr.. Daily is en-
titled to great commentator for
having 90 selected his company that
each actor and actress is given the
characterIbest fitted for them conse-
quentlys the very even acting of the
plsy."
