FORT SHERMAN.

ment at the Post Han last night was a |
grand success from start to finish. The |
, program opened with picnic, which |
introduced almost every nationality ex-
cept Turk. Clark'S makeup and por |
) trayal of John Chinaman WAS magnit- |
cent Dobriner as Muldoon on roller |
skates was a clever bit of work. Songs
by Berry, Kuch, Wood. Dobriner and
Reilly, the Highland Fling by Mckay
and the three-handed reels enlivened the
picnic party. !
, Wood and Dobriner in Irish eccentrici
ties proved as popular as ever. John
: Ford's pedestal clog dancing was as ac-
,ptable as ever. The quartet, Mueller,
Ghetto, Morris and Porter, of the regi
mental band, played beautiful selee-
ton, which was warmly appiauded.
Mckay and the ever popular sailors
hornpipe received hearty welcome TO
the stage again.
The program closed with a comedy
entitled Cabman No. %, with Clark,
Reilly. Mrs. Rollins and Mrs. Stromberg
in the east. Clark and Reilly We're seen
to better advantage in this sketch than
anything they have yet appeared in.
Reilly gave evidence of careful training
for his part and proved himself born
actor. Clark ii | d his part of passion
ate and impetuous old man perfectly.
The ladies We're free OF stage fright and
i filled their roles eleverly.
The hit OF the evening was Reilly'S
representation of an English dude, and
his song. It's English. You Know"
struck the popular fancy and brought a
whirlwind of applause.
The hail was crowded to the doors

V plause. y large number OF persons
e remained to enjoy the dancing, which
! lasted until Il. III.
