Last evening. II Is q comedy drama and !
abounds In startling situations. There Is
q murder and robbery in the fret act, an
attempted murder and capture of the rob-
bers in the third act, a realistic boiler ex-
plosion in the fourth act, which sends the
villain who has been giving everybody In
the play more or less bother skywsrds to
his doom. The explosion lie made very re-
alistic by the hot water and steam pouring
out of real boiler. A genuine locomotive
Is one of the features of the play. Miss
Florence Bindley is the heroine of the play.
She used to be known as Baby Bindley and
has not forgotten how to dance, and play
on Q number of musical instruments. She
makes charming little soubrette. Quick

Franklin made good housekeeper in the
character of Rosina Stevens. Fin Rey-
nolde' work az Frank Hale is to be COM
mended. He and Miss Bindley were ap-
plauded for their singing. THE Pay
