fenNef1l Co.. who should be thorough
ly at home in this brisk farcical play
which, although filed with brisk ac-
farce comedy antics There will be the
same. careful attention paid to the stage
detail that characteriZes every produc-
ton that Mr.. Neill has anything to do
with. 1t might be apropos to say a
word here regarding Mr.. Neill's mag
nif7cent work in experimenting the pre-
sentation Of plays that have been given
by this company. Throughout the pro-
auctions that the Giffen-Neill company
has given evidence in abundance has
been shown that Mr.. Neill is a master
in this line Of work. To take old seen
cry and stage effects and rearrange and
alternate them so that they look entire
~ new and equally as artistic as the
best especially designed for the pur-
pose is an accomplishment that should
not pass without commentator. More
painstaking with details Of this sort
would add UNNECESSARILY to many a
dramatic performance that appears
dull and unattractive in it's side orna-
mentations in the eyes of the constant
theatergoer. There has been no new
scenery painted for the Giffen-Neill
company, but the effects have been en-
tirely produced through extraordinary
care and effort in the matter of stage
elaboration.
The performances to be given the
coming week by the Giffen-Neill COM
pany will be for the benefit of the
cycle path fund.- and the enthusiastic
cyclists of the city have been out,
hustling hard to swell the receipts of
the week to such an extent that there
will be cycle path worthy Of the many
hundreds of bikers who could keenly
enjoy such a metropolitan convenience

making an immense hit. Whenever it

funniest play, "All the Comforts of
Home" will be given. This comedy
has been seen in ST. Paul upon two
previous occasions and proved delight
fully entertaining, as well as highly
amusing. 1t concerns in the main the
vicissitudes of a doci1e old chap named
Theodore Bender and his wife, or rath-
er his wife and Theodore Bender. be-
cause for long time throughout the
play this Bender's better half is the
ruling spirit Of the household. "All the
Comforts of Home" was adapted from
the German by Mr.. Gillette, and as is
usually the case with such adaptations,
1t is splendidly constructed.
The first scene takes place in the
drawing room of a private house in
London. A Mr.. Hastings, fun-loving
nephew Of gentleman named Petit
bone, has been left in charge of the
latter's house, while he and his family
pay visit to the continent. No
sooner is the nephew left in charge Of
affairs than he concocts a scheme to
make some money by deciding to rent
the apartments to any and all roomers
that might apply. He hangs out
sign which reads, Apartments to Let,
All the Comforts of Home" He has
many applicants Of all shades and
classes and the numerous amusing sit
uations and dialogues that arises out

people is Particularly interesting.
among the arrivals is Mr.. and Mrs.
Theodore Bender, they are looking for
just such place as this one is adver-
tised to be, with all the comforts Of
home" There also arrives an irritable
music teacher, to say nothing of the
comic opera prima donna and one or
TWO other eccentric and irrational ch ar
acters. One of these is a Mr.. Dabney,
who gets himself into all sorts of cur
ious predicaments.
