One night last week in Chicago w. Fl.
Crane who is filling an engagement at
the Windy City, had the pleasure of sit
ting through a portion Of Stuart Robson s
presentation of Shakespeare's Comedy of
Errors,' the mention Of which some. years
back served to associate the names of
Robson and Crane as the Two Dromios
Since their separation both Robson and
Crane have been very careful that they
did not play conflicting dates, and Chi
cago has proven the first exception to this
rule. In commenting upon Mr.. Crane
attendance at'the piece presented by his
former partner, a Chicago writer is au-
thority for the statement that it was quite
as amusing to watch the visitor as the
actor Every line that Crane was accus-
toned to speak involuntarily dropped from
his lips in a whisper, with the facial ex-
preston so close an imitation of Robson s.
the twinkle of the eye, the gaping look OF
wonder and the other details, that you
might have imagined them playing to-
gether once more.

eating booths and fancy stalls Boxes are
secured three or four days beforehand
from a neighboring teanouse, where ar
rangements are made for attendance and
