Laugh? OF course they did. They
couldn't help it. The broad grin lasted too,
till they reached the street, and that's the
best part of it. This was in Granite Hall
last night. The hall was filled and nearly
every reserved seat was sold. The occasion
was the presentation of that musical absurd
ity "A Postage Stamp" which, judging from
the uproarious applause is one of the funn-
est ever written. The singing of Mrs
Sprague was repeatedly encOred. The
specialties of Billy Gray brought
down the house time and time
again Miss May Condell the very clever
soubrette, adds the art of graceful dancing
to her other accomplishments. To sum up
the company it is good and evenly balanced
throughout. The music of the orchestra
was a feature and was particularly fine.
