OUR FLAT.-To-night at the Opera
House Riley's comedians, strong
comedy organization, will present the
great London and New York success,

humor and embraces ridiculous situa'
lions, but beneath there is a strong cur
rent of interest which holds the atten-
ton much more than the made-to-or-
der fun of the average modern farce
comedy. The pictures of "fiat life" are
we'll drawn and the action, while lively,
is not forced beyond the limits of prob
ability,
