from to 7:30. The people in the COM
pany are, with one or two exceptions. the
same who presented the play here in
April of last year. The RECoRD-UNIoN
then said of the piece, that it is u short
story with an imperceptible thread Of
piot' farce, comedy and burlesque,
character acting, with excellence,
and a touch of minstrelsy, and that
the actors are superior to the ''ordinary
rum" with capable vocalists among the
women, and two good tenors and COM
blnatlon in quartet that is good. 1t was
added that the piece is perfectly clean;
that there is not the slightest leaning to-
ward the broad suggestive or vulgar. The

is pronounced by our exchanges to be d
very strong feature. The box-office
