The Next Attraction.

George h. Timmons as Larry Dee was
easily a success. His was an excellent i'm
personation of men of this class-reckless,
jovial and warm -earted. Mr.. Timmons in
vested the character with an added interest
by the naturalness of his manner and the
spontanity of his mirth, His histrionic
powers are not severely taxed but when a
display Of other feelings than those of mirth
and iocularity was demanded he was fully
equal to the occasion.-PhiLa Item With
