the leading role OF Edward Owing Towne's
"Other Peoples Money" land which play
is to be repeated Tonight, is certainly the

characterization Of Hutchinson Hopper. a
Chicago broker, and of how no instructs
his confidential clerk to marry n girl with
Il dowry of $lC0,C00, who turns out to be
Hoppcrs daughter, is certainly amusing.
OF course there are incidents sufficiently
frequent to keep an audience in an uproar
of laughter from tho rise of the curtain on
tho first act to tho fall on the last act.
Thanks to Mr.. Towne for his laughable
creation, and success to Mr.. Leroyle for
his most delightful presentation thereof.
The piece will live forever.
