 George Parker, as the old grand mother was excellent in his makeup. and his acting of the character was splendid and created much mirth.
 Harry Stevenson, as Dick Daily, surprised the audience and his many friends by his excellent rendition of the character, and it Was all the more creditabie, as he had but three or four days in which to commit his lines and rchearse his part.
 i Mrs. Belle Jacobs was exceedingly gcoL as Mary Blake, and her acting and speaking was perfect and elicited gleat deal of favorable comment Her dressing of the piece Was plain, but in excellent taste.
 Mrs. Carrie Gregory, as Andy Blake-thc title role-was excellent, and all her acting and speaking was clear of that restraint which usually affects an amateur. She made her self favorite with the audience at once, and maintained that position throughout the entire performance. 1 Her local hit at A. H.

 Joseph Bignon, manager of the 1 Elite Theater, then danced clog of several minutes duration, and we be- lieve It was the finest clog we have ever seen. He was recalled after the clog and danced an Irish jig. Long and repeated calls were made for him, but owing to the lateness of the hour MT. Bignon declined to respon.., ex, cept to acknowledge the compliment paid him.
 Master Johnny Ganzhorn, a little tot, then made his bow to the audi fence and recited q cute little piece, and retired amid thunders of applause. George Parker losed the interlude with comic song and amused the audience by picking up a table with a chair on top of it with his teeth and carrying it off the stage.
