"THE FLAMs."
The Initial Production of New Farce
Comedy Last Night.

The Initial Production of New Farce
Comedy Last Night.
A fair sized audience witnessed the
second public presentation, at the opera
House last night, of a new farce come
dy, entitled The Flams," with Bill
Hoey, late OF Evans and HoeY, and John
c. Rice, Of my Aunt Bridget" fame, as
the stellar attractions. The piece
abounds in clever bits OF comedy. The
dialogue Is bright and witty, and the
situations can be made very amusing.
They were only partially so last night.
1t was evident that the company had
not rehearsed the piece sufficiently, as
several of the members forgot their
lines, and there were a number OF repe-
titions which were noticed by the audi
ence. Hoey and Rice are
both favorites in Wheeling, and the au-
dleuce was ready to applaud everything
that was good, in spite OF the fact that
it was kept until nearly midnight before
the curtain fell on the last act.
In spirit Of charity toward MIR.

present last night, and every person
who is familiar with the ability OF the
Individual members OF the company,
will agree. Mr.. Hoey would make a
good beginning by smothering his male

course.
Mr.. Rice was excellent. He made the
most Of his opportunities, and they were
not few. His dance in the second act
was new aud pleasing, and deserved the
applause it received. Mr.. Hoey hardly
came up to the measure OF his ability.
The lady members OF the company did
fairly well. Some of the specialties In
the second act were very good, and the
living pictures were excellent. The
costumes were new and bright, and the
stage settings very attractive.
