rendered by the local company, March

rendering of Larry Finnigan, created
mirth from beginning To end and was
a fine piece of character acting, he seem
inglv perfect al home in the part. Mrs.
Barrett as MIS-. Finnigan was delciously
cOmical throughout, and her rendering
of the pathetic passages, showed elocu-
tionary powers which few amateurs
possess. Her costumes We're very fine
and appropriate. Mr.. Aft. Mason, as
Rafferty, was.a decided success through.
out, and was played very naturally.
Mr. ii. {. Cover as Dutch Jake was
capitallr acted, and his loud aud explosive
tones were capital foil to Finnigan' 5
more quiet bearing. Mr.. Frank Alex
ander as the French Count was remarka-
bly, well acted, as the roles he assumes
always are Lady Hannah Loyejoy, the
part played by Mrs. Della Harris, was
well presented and she looked very
pretty in her costume. Master Harry
Hubbard as Patsy, and Miss Nellie
Tuttle as Katie, made very pretty
picture when on the stage together, and
played their parts wonderfully well for
such young people.
