was here in the early part Of the season,
the audience that went to see the play was
extremely light but very well pleased when
the performance had ended. Consequently,
last night. and at the matinee, the house
WAS packed. Jack O'DiamOnds'' is q
strong play. with a simply vet neatly woven
plot. Mr.. Bryton, who assumes the title role.
is one of the finest actors on the American
stage to-day. and if it were not from the
rather high-sounding title given the play he
would undoubtedly ill his house at every
performance. The support is equally en-
cellent. and from the rise Of the curtain to
the going down thereof in the last act the
complete attention of the entire audience
was held within the hands of the actors.
Mr.. Bryton is an unusually handsome man.
