Keith'S Opera House.

That popular comedy drama Chimmie
Fadden" is tho attraction at Kcith's
Opera House the present week. Last
evening the attendance was very large
and the audience was generous with its
laughter and applause. "Chimmie" and
his twistings OF the language it would
not perhaps bs saying too much are
household words in every up-to-date
community in the land.
The piece. of course, IL not inspiring as
drama nor is its comedy altogether as
subtle and refined az sore comedy is, but
the audience welcomes the play as a
picture of life and there are incidents in
It, OF course. that go to make up impor-
tant parts of plays known as dramas.
The picture and many of the characters
are always interesting because they are
real. part OF the jetsam and flotssm OF
life in one metropolis much similar to
that which the artist OF another true and
great city made all readers so familiar
with.
The company presenting the piece this
week is an acceptable one and at impor-
tant times every one adds to the realism
OF the portrayal and brings out some in
eresting IL rather unusual clinaxes.
The play is well staged and Mr.. Collyer
is aware OF the fact that the audience is
chiefly interested in "ChiInmie." His
idea Of the character is a good one and
his knowledge of street language and its
proper accentuation was apparently
broad one. Frances Brooke made An ex-
cellent Duchess and her ease and dis
oretionary abandon contributed not a
little to the success of the piece. MAY
Donahue's impersonation of the notori.
Gus Mrs. Murphy. much devoted to mixed
ale and the possessor OF q witty IL sharp
tongue, showed the most car. ful atten.
tion to the posi- sibilities OF the part and
her work was effective by reason OF it's
being more In the suggestion rather than
In the action. No one in the cast, not even
"Chimmis, won warmer applause.
The other members of the cast were
equal to the requirements of their not
very difficult parts for the interest rather
oenters around those named and Of Mrs.
Faddsn who Is decided character in btr
way as Is also the kind hearted Maggie
who has the misfortune to have brother
that is thief. The production of the
comedy at popular prices cannot fail to
crowd this popular theatre ana the pre-
sentation on the stage of characters so
many have grown familiar with from
Mr. Townsend's book and newspaper
articles will be a pleasant treat.
"Chimmie" and mis- friends with their
idioms and dialects and many other
peculiarities will be the attraction every
evening this week and at the customary
matinees.

triumph, "Courted into Court. I" will un-
