drunken scenes were fun exciting at times pa
thetic and at all times delicate, graceful and
free from suggestion of coarseness Miss Mary
Moor. who had the leading female part, is a
pretty young woman with a soft voice and great
sweetness and grace Of manner. She exhibited

selected and well framed

entertainment made up of specialties of high

musical wonders; James McAvoy, singing
comedian; Sinclair and Faron, sketch artists.
