to finish the interest was extreme.
and the situation fine. Mr.. Streeter
as Grit. the newsboy, was as fine q
piece OF acting as has ever been seen
in this city. From sentiment to
comedy, and vice versa, he did not
lose for one instant his character.
and throughout the entire evening
gave to each of his characters a vim
and dash that was delightful. His
Baron Won Bach reminded us Of

The Widow Jones" which Nav

Miss Irwin, and in the leading role
she is seen at her very brightest.
All those who have ever seen the
clever comedienne know her capacity
for fun-making. In a role which is
said to fit her like the traditional
glove, she will undoubtedly reach the
limit as a mirth-producer.
