stantly at the bubbling point by hilarity

ideas and tags after her for six months.
He receives no encouragement and so
gives uD the chase Arrived at home

ventures in the dark continent.
The interest of the piece is well kept
up, and there is lots Of ginger"
through the entire three acts. The
piece is mingled with bright and
catchy songs, dances and specialties
that sent everyone home happy.
Miss Majorie Fair made a very pleas
ing Dollie Blonde. Little Irene Frank
lin. dainty miss of a few years but
great stage ability, sang and acted her
way into favor Immediately, her vocal
selections showing that she is possessed
of a voice of wonderful power and
sweetness for one so young. Among
the male members Lynn Welcher gave
an admirable delineation of Stanley
Dodge, the venerable but giddy scien-
fist, and Charles Doyle is about as
clever laugh maker as is often seen.
Frederick Waltz, in addition to his ca
pability as a comedian, introduces a
novelty in his piano accompaniment
and won numerous encores. D. ]. Hal
pin adds much to the strength of the
cast in his Irish approximations.
Miss Margaret Franklin was also good
as the maid. Others deserving special

ME Mock. The piece will be repeated
this afternoon afternoon and evening
and tomorrow afternoon and evening.
