Thursday, midnight.
Ran down to the Lyceum for an act
or two of the Private Secretary to-
night I know the thing off by heart,
so it didn't matter when and where
dropped in-I could pick up the thread.
A great old farce is the Secretary,
and though they played it in rather
horsey way-probably the old aSsocia-
tons Of the house were in the air
they got lot of fun out of it. Let me
see-we have had Gillette and Len
Grover in the part of the bath bun
man, and now Gleason. Grover was as
good as Gillette, in some things better.
Gleason apes them both but hasn't the
native humor to carry him through.
Miss Gleason, clever; Miss Hall, ditto;
Miss Russell, the walk of pugilist;
Mr.. Brinker, good; Mr.. Munro, no, no;
Harry Taylor, slow as kingdom come;
Weiner, too boisterous. The Russells'
