and their manners have figured in more than
few plays. but they have never been SO deftly
treated as in Bronson Howard's comedv, The
author has blended stocks and sentiment and
humor with skill. He has written a piece
which does more than deal with Complications
and Iaughable situations. 1t is a satire most
brightly written. possessing more than a little
wit and having 3 serious vein that gives 1t a
dramatic interest which proved all the more
effective. The comedy will be interpreted
by these players; Miss May Waldron Miss
Eugeuia Lindeman, Miss Helen Mar, Miss
Katherine Florence, Miss Jennie R. Burby,
Mrs. Agatha Hallam, and Messrs. James e |
Wilson, George s. Woodward. Frank Nor
