The Old Lime Kiln. as the name of the
play that was presented at the theater
last night, is a misnomer. 1t suggests
melodrama of the blood and thunder
type. The play is nothing of the kind.
The name is a handicap that SO good a
drama should not be called upon to
carry. For the show is really of high
class. 1t is admirably written. It's situa-
tons are strong. Its dialogue is bright.
It's moral is wholesome, and It's produc-
ton is of a degree of excellence that

herbert Cawthorn, who essays the comedy
role, is d happy dilineator of the Celtic
CHARACTER. His style is of the farce-comedy
Greer, and his originality seems to be ex-
