| in a charming style. The rest of the cast was
good, but there not sufficient scenery sup
port them properly. However, the second scene
in the first act, banquet scene at Robin Hoods
| castle, was admirable and the ferry scene was
| good. Special mention should be made of the
| orchestra which the company carries with it.

meet with more crowded house. The play vel
deserves patronage. 1t will be repeated this
evening.
