the stage management gave great sat

Billy Dugan and Chas. Burggraf
took the comic parts. The latter made |
his first appearance and surprised ali
by the finish of his work, which was |
M aintained throughout with an even
ness that was surprising. He showed
that he is not only good dramatist
but an excellent actor. Mr.. Dugan is
an old favorite but surprised bis friends
by his versatility in the double part of
a comic Swede and "McGinty after the
Bawl."
Auth1r Lawrence had the part Of
william and did some good acting as
Hall Weston. Mrs. Holland as Harry
Raymond's true wife played well as
usual and that is saying it was extra
ordinary amateur work. The minor
parts by Harry Raymond, the invent
or, g. w. Wallace, Major Wallace,
Chas. Hellenbrand, A. G. Adams,
Misses Murphy and Holland were all
we'll carried out. There will be no OBJ
lection to our saying that this was the
most creditable amateur performance
seen on the boards in years. The Hall
Bros. minstrel parts were 80 well liked
that they were recalled five times.
The audience showed intelligent appre-
citation throughout.
