THE MASK IND WIG PLAY.
"No Gentleman of France" a Great Sue

"No Gentleman of France" a Great Sue
 cess.
 The Mask and Wig dramatic club of the University of Pennsylvania. pre- scented their latest effort, No Gentle man of France" at the Hyperion last evening. The audience was large and of a brilliant social character. The play made great success and was one of the pleasantest light entertainments of the season.
 The Mask and Wig" club has an en- viable reputation for clever burlesques, and clever acting, and this last produc tion is worthy of it's predecessors. The mounting of the play was costly and elaborate. The costumes were hand some and harmonious, and the stage pictures were brilliant and artistic. The stage management was worthy of the best professionals.
 The play is an amusing hodge, podge. It caricatures "Trlby," Mad anne Sans Gene" and various other re- cent successes. The music was most skllfully chosen and adapted from the  Excellency," Little Christopher. f" Sousa's marches and "all the popular songs of the day" contributed to the musical portion. The plan of the pro- ceedngs, it cannot be called plot, is the joint production of Clayton Fotteral McMichael and Balclay Harding War burton. The tunes are good and the satires are well directed. The local "gags" were fine last night, and came in naturally.
 Of the cast there were so many stars that it is hard to select the best. W. Ernst, jr., was excellent in the trying role of the much caricatured Napoleon H. K. Mohr was Mir. Fussie Fouche and was good, both as dancer and as singer. Charles Snyder Morgan, jr. was the prima- donna and the pre- miere danseuse, etc, and he Cor she) won enthusiastic plaudits as Miss Jane Sans Gene MT. Morgan looked very pretty, acted with vivacity and danced with really remarkable skill. Albert Russell Bartlett was very funny as Uncle John Hay. c. D. Reuben and his eccentric dance was worthy of Fred Wright, than which no higher praise can be given. c. N. Martin as Svenga- Ii. A. F. Wilcox as Wellington, E. Wiener as Lefibore, and S. R. Morgan as Marie Louise were also good.
 The chorus and ballet were very elab- crate. There were ladies in waiting, bathers, soldiers, laundresses, coach CTS, etc., to the number of nearly a hundred.
 It was one of the best college plays ever given in this city. A large party of friends and graduates came up for the performance.
 The orchestra was large for the oc- casion. There was fine exchange of courtesies on the part of the two col leges. and the whole affair passed off very pleasantly.

 Street-Tripped Over an Iron Rail.

Met With by an Elderly Lady on State
 street-Tripped Over an Iron Rail.
 An elderly lady, about sixty years of age, who had driven into the city from Cedar Hill district yesterday met with quite serious accident on State street. She had driven up to the curb in front of Andrews butter and egg store on State street, near Chapel, and alighted from the wagon, when her foot caught on a thirty-foot T rail to be used in the street railway repairing. The lady fell headlong and struck on the rail and stone clubbing. She was severely stunned and received a long deep cut over the right eye, while her limbs were badly bruised. She was assisted into Andrews store where the two la dies, with the aid of restoratives, brought from a nearby drug store, helped her to regain her composure. A physician could not be found near by so the lady was driven to her home in the carriage of a gentleman who had witnessed the accident. The injuries, it feared, will be serious, the old lady being in poor health, owing to an inter- nal malady.
