could stand. The pop" scene in particular
was an afIront to manhood and womanhood.
1t is about time to draw the line OF the out
rageous stuff and nonsense forced down the
throats of audiences by alleged playwrights
and actors anxious to make a 'hit." How
any self-respeeting author, even the Paultons
who wrote 1.-The Flans, +" could hash up such
rubbish, passes our understanding. Some of
the jests and bon mots (?) were like slaps in
the face, and the wonder is that the Americcn
backbone did not stiffen aud Kisses drown the
thin applause that came from ignorant and
unthinking gods" Hoey is a farceur of no
mean ability, but he will surely degenerate
into bufoon of very vulgar type if he con-
tinues long TO play "Ihe Flams." The
specialties were more than ordinarily good,
and saved the performance from utter i'm
becility.
Francis Wilson, of the laughing legs. as
'The DEVILS Deputy at the National Thea
ter, drew around him at every performance a
host of admirers. 1t is not so much the play,
In his case, as it is the player that puts smiles
upon the faces of his audience. The merry
Francis would, am sure, animate a grave
yard at midnight and set all the dappei
CANCERS laughing with might and main. His
voice, eyes, legs, all are contagious with
mirth.

1t is well put together in every respect, it is
true. but it never rises above the ordinary in
sentiment or melody. The chief solo number
for the women is the "Sweet Sixteen song,
and 1t is only pleasing. Wilson sang a
''Stutter" song which, as every one knows, is
as old as-well, Kate Claxton. "The Deputy
is very little of an opera, and much less a
comic one The plot has been used from time
lmmemorial by ali sorts OF dramatic butchers,
and that in this case its effect is not deadly is
solely because Wilson submerges everything
in his own personality.
