C,illett's bright comedy. the Private Sec

night by Edwin Travers and a competent
company The play is well known here.
The people who are presenting 1t this sea-
son do their parts very cleverly. Many
now songs have been introduced Miss
Hvatt and Miss Hunt, who do the in
oenue parts, are pretty, vivacious and
have good voices. They sing a duet that
is especially pleasing. Harry Dull plays
the part of the private secretary, and
does it well.

The next attraction at the theater is
Rosabel Morrison in Carmen Saturday
matinee and night. The Norfolk Virginan
saws of her appearance in Norfolk this
week.
Dainty Rosabel Morrison in Carmen
was greeted by an enthusiastic audience
and the production was one of the best
ever seen on the stage in Norfolk. Miss
Morrison is not only a very pretty woman,
but is exceedingly clever as an actress, and
in the role of Carmen she fully met all it's
requirements. She was ably supported by
Mr. Edward Elsner whose clever inter-
probation of the character of Don Jose
commanded attention and won for that
gifted young man worlds of praise In fact
the entire support was good, and the scenic
effects were in perfect keeping with the
excellence of the performance. The scenes
of the play were laid in Spain, and in the
fourth act the wonderful bull fight at Cas-
dora, as shown by the kaleidoscope, was a
revelation. The description of the fight
were realistic almost to life and excited
the uttermost wonder among the auditors.
