A GOOD PLAY.
Yankee Jack IN Cuba" Was on the
Boards at the Theatre.

The Hettie Bernard Chase com
pany played Yankee Jack in Cuba
last night to fair audience; when
we say fair, we make a guess, for
not being on to the combination of
the house, its seating capacity or
its free list, we could not estimate
the number in attendance, though
we know that all the street cars
lined up at the Park entrance were
quickly filed with those bound for
points remote from the Park, and
the eight cars strung out loaded
until there was only enough room
for zone more" looked like a huge
serpent winding its way in the
dark.
The play was well put on the
stage and the scenic representa-
tions of the Maine and the United
States fleet in Santiago harbor,
was well given, and when the naval
battle was given, and the Dig ships
peppered away and maneuvered
about the Spanish feet, the house
went wild and yelled itself hoarse.
During the play a couple of sure
enough Texarkana coons were in
troduced in the play, and we recog-
nized in one of them Harry Ehrlich's
old valet, George Loyengood, who
has either headed every show
parade in Texarkana, as carrier Of
the big drum or brought up the
rear with a banner. Last night
however, George made his first ap-
pearance as an actor, and while
his part was protomine, he did it
up to perfection and when he gave
one of his yawns the people thought
they were looking down the throat
of a hippopotamus. Georges
mouth will bring him a fortune yet,
if he can only get a start on the
stage with a good trainer.
The manager announced that
tonight the troupe would play Gun

The building is being improved

this did last night.
