two wax figures, the one n girl, sitting, and
the other man, standing upon IA simple
platform. The man was leaning toward the

business to circumvent them I'm their
wicked plsns ard he does II at the peril OF
hiss life in several Instances but he at last
succeeds, after assuming six entirely .dif-
ferent characters, In bringing he villains
to justice.
Miss Mai, who plays the part OF Sleuth,
finds IL necessary to make twenty six dis
tinct changes OF costume. There are many
scenes in the play that cause those I'm at.
tendance to almost leave their seats with
excitement, espt cially in the quarry scene
In the second act, with its terrIti struggle,
and the scene at the old mill i'm the third
act where Mrs. Obleitz has a hand to- hand
encounter with Tom Halpine, the william.
The cast is good in every particular.
Charles Barrlnger makes Tom Halpine a
tremendous william, and the Geoviannie

heavy character Of Mrs. Oblitz, Is a power.

as Minnie, and Miss Emma Dunn, the
cute soubret, as Sally Brown, and Thomas
Z. Moya, as Pat Donnelly, the policeman,
have several screaming comedy scenes
which they play for all they are worth.
There IL no pistol firing or shooting in
"Young Sleuth" to disturb the ladies
and children. Miss Nellie Bayley will
introduce several cornet solos during the
production.
