The song, "Newsboys." was rendered
cry newsboys. The musical part of the
program was highly appreciated and
frequently encored by the audience.
The farce was well renderd and ex-
tremely amusing. Miss Fleming, as
Jennie Hayne. did excellently. The
feature of the play was the sensation
caused by Dick Calmeleigh's seeming
forgetfulness of his lines. 1t was only
a bit of by-play.
