The farcical comedy of ''Aunt Jack" has
Just finished solid seasons run at the
Madison Square. The New York Heralf
speaking of the performance, says: Mr..
Palmer began the sixth regular season of
his reign at the Madison Square theatre
[ last night with two successes. The piece
of the evening 'sAunt Jackn was preceded
by little one act s'curtain raiser called
"a Man of the Worldn The curtain rang
up little after O'Clock on the first pro-
production in America of "Aunt jack a
| farce comedy that is now the London laugh,
with Mrs. John Wood in the title role, the
part played here by Ada Dyas. The plot
of the piece is basedon a number of comic
situations growing out of breach of
promise case between Aunt Jack, a
| country spinSter and a pompous old Col.
| Travenor. There are a number of comic
surprises that set the house in a roar,
and the dialogue of the piece is bright at
| times and at times provocative of laughter.
| The first set opens in the law Office of
| Berkeley Blue & Caleb Cornish, barristers,
| and Aunt Jack, WHO has brought her coun-
try lawyer, Mr.. Buffin, up to London to aid
| her in the suit, appear upon the scene. One
Of the barristers, Caleb Cornish, is a
nephew of Aunt Jack, and he is married to
niece of the defendant, Colonel Travenor,
in the breach of promise suit. Of course
the aunt knows nothing of the marriage OF
the nephew. During the progress of the
suit the old lady, who. by the way, is not
an old lady, becomes engaged to the attor-
ney for the defendant, not knowing that he
is retained by the colonel, and the attorney
not knowing that she is the plaintiff in the
case Aunt Jacks engagement was
| broken off with the colonel on
account of her singing a comic
song of the music hall type, at a
public entertainment. The third act in the
court seen presided over by Justice
Mundle, a.. in which Aunt Jack takes
| the stand and sings the song,
If you want to know the tune,
| Ask the p'liceman."
and in which the Judge, jury and whole
court join, is one of the iolliest scenes wit
messed on the stage for long time. Ada
Dyas made an immense hit in the part oil
Aunt Jack. Tho Berkely Blue of E. NJ
Holland adds another to the many triumph!
of this careful actor Frederick Robinson
as the Colonel, was right in the atmos
phere of farcial comedy. J. H. Stoddart
as Justice Mundle, was racy and unctous
and Louis Massen as a hoW.iIg swell
and Charles w. Butler as the country
lawyer, were very clever. MAUD
Harrison played the young wife Of Calet
Cornish sweetly, and she never looked
more winning. Emily Seward, youn,
actress of pleasing appearance, made
most agreeable impression. MIR. Palmer
who was called out at the close of the sec
loud act. can congratulate himself on sue
Icessful opening for his present dramati
lcampaign
