That most laughable of comedies,
"Charey's Aunt" will be produced at
the Academy of Music Thursday even
ing by a carefully selected company.
1t is a clean, neat comedy, bubbling
over with fun, sparkling in dialogue,
and with action that is a thing of de-
light and joy forever. Beyond every
thing else that characterizes "Charley's
Aunt" and makes it good to see is the
healthy and healthful atmosphere of
the highest and best form of English
life--the atmosphere, one might say, of
horses and roses, and pleasant people.
The play has been here and pleased
everybody. The story of the bogus "old
