There are TWO things We never
could endure to see impersOnated Oh
the stage: One is a drunken man,
and the other is an old maid There
is nothing funny to us in the dis
hevelIed hair and the leering eyes
and the staggering gait and the thick
speech of drunkenness, even when we
know they are all assumed. And we
could never be amused by misera-
bic caricature which is an insult to
all women, particularly when she is
made to describe situations in way
that is simply vulgar AID not in the
least witty. So we wish MIR. Alba
Haywood had left out his drunk"
Jokes and his "Huldah Jane". The
rest of the program was thoroughly
enjoyable for the most part. Miss
Steele is not particularly gifted as a
piano solOist, but she played accom-
paniments with excellent taste and
effect. And Mr.. Talley spoiled a
couple of beautiful songs by riOtOus
indulgence in the detestable aud out
IF date quaver. But Miss Dresher
played the violin beautifully. We
never heard anything sweeter than
her Suanee River. And Mr. Hey
woods representations, aside from
those above criticised, were excellent
With the exception of Riley himself
we never heard anybody give 1.-THE
Old Man and JIM quite so well. All
his Riley pieces were good and bis
limitations of various animals were
nearly perfect. In fact he is most
uncOmmOnly clever entertainer, and
it is too bad that after giving his au-
dience two hours of good wholesome
fun he should throw in "Hulda jane
at the last and send the people home
with a bad taste in their mouth.
