Crude Condition.

Crude Condition.
The Three Star Comedy Company, ow-
ing 10 a slight misunderstanding between
themselves and the lines Of the play. had
TO engage in a catch-as-catch can west
ling match in order to pull through last
night.
"Dorcas." the pretty little operetta by
the Paulfons. was the instrument by
which the company essayed TO interest
and amuse a fair-sized audience, but dside
from several musical numbers, I'm which
Miss Amy Ricard Miss lnez Mecusker
and Mr.. r. ;. Nodne displayed good
voices. the performance was "a failure.
so far as interesting the audience was
concerned.
Had the company spent a little more
time I'm rehearsng or tried II on a dog
n week or two longer, perhaps the audi
ence last night would have enjoyed the
performance AS 10 was, however. the
blunders Of the performers caused more
merriment than the lines OF the play.
Miss Inez Mecuskcr, in private life the
wife of Manager Van Osten. did all she
could TO straighten out things, and she
was the star Of the show.
Mr.. Charles W. Meyer, the comedian,
was excruciatingly funny in trying 10 be
funny. and the audience laughed at his
predicamcnt.
Miss Broadman Elton, in her cornet
solos. and Master George McTernan, the
vocalist won more friends by their per-
fOrmances. which were excellent.
