LOS ANGELES THEATER-A large
and brilliant audience witnessed the
farewell performance of the Frawley
company last night. The play was The
Senator, written for VIM. Crane, but in
which Mr. Arbuckle in the titular role
gurpnsses him. The cast was made up
OF all the company and they were en-
Enthusiastically greeted. They gave us
matchless performance, and it would be
error to particularize when all did so
we'll. The cast was as follows:
Senator Hannibal Rivers, Mr.. Maclyn
Arbuckle; Alexander Armstrong, Mr..
Frank @. Thompson; Count Ernest Won
Strahl, Mr.. Frank Worthington; Baron
Ling Ching. Mr.. George Bosworth;
Lieut.. Geo. Schuyler, Mr.. T. Daniel
Frawley; Isaiah Sharpless, Mr.. Harry
Corson Clarke; Silas Denman, Mr.. Will

lips; Mabel Denman, Miss Lansing
Rowan; Mrs. Schuyler, Miss Phosa Meal
lister Mrs. Armstrong, Miss Madge
Carr Cooke; Josie, Miss Hope Ross; Mrs.
Hilary. Mics Blanch L. Bates.
1t is matter of regret to all playgoers
to have this really excellent coterie of
actors leave US, but we hope they will
come to us again at no distant day after
the heat and turmoil Of election has
passed.
