The play was new one to Logan
theatre-goers, and was heartily
appreciated by the audience pres

tinuous round of applause. The
farce is entirely on its merits and
Is not confined to sensationalism.
AS staged it presents many realis-
tic pictures, the detail In this re-
spect being among its most at
tractive features.
In the first act, the country par
sons homecoming, the worldly
minded daughter, the predicament

Geo. II. Adams, as Lucky, in
charge Of the country store, and in
his character make up as an old
farmer is specially that must be
seen to be appreciated. 1t is an
extremely difficult part, necessita-

death, in fact, but to Mr.. Adams
credit, be it said, the part is admir-
ably acted.
Alice Hansen, as Pansy, captur-
ed the audience by her graceful
dancing and catchy songs. Miss
Hansen is a vivacious and pleasing
soubrette, and is ore of the best
delineators of coon songs in high

Mrs. Geo. II. Adams as the
country parsons wife played her
part with the finesse of an accom-

pleasing little lady both on and of
the stage and never fails to make
friends wherever she appears.
Howard Messimer as Josh Reu-

it is good hard work, and Mr.Farley
