The comedy was given in a most
superblv successful manner, and the
fame which Barry and Fay originally
gave to the play was not lessened by
the clever impersonation that at
tended each of the unique charac-
tiers last evening. Mrs. Casey, who
is perhaps better known to those who
are accustomed to seeing her upon
he stage as Miss Richards. was new
er more delightful and never sang
more sweetly. MIR. Collins was the
soul of humor and rollicking comedy
and Mr.. Colligan was the dignified
comedian to perfection. Misses Ro-
senfieid and kaue should be proud of
their parts. The audience Was de-
lighted, and Il most noble cause re-
ceived $500 from the proceeds of
the entertainment.
