In the former he was tramp The
scenes OF the old play are laid I'm cfSiIiza-
ton. while the first net of the new play

tire four acts OF the comedy which has
tragedy mixing up in a manner TO leave
breathing spells between laughter and
tears, with a number OF sfsaciaities intro
9uced wherever there Is an excuse ana
sometimes without any excuse
The company Is evenly balanced. Mr.
Walters as Happy Hopper furnishes the
comedy which is excellent. Miss Louise
I.eweiiyn as Priscilla Heating does some
excellent work MIR Walters and Miss
Heating introduce some songs which called
for several encores. T. Guy Spangier. as
Donald Gun. Ia an ideal villain. and, I'M

character work can be taken as a criterion
his success in the part was as pronounced
as Heege's. He certainly looks the part

The supporting company is fairly good.
and contains some clever people, the best
being Annie Mack Beslein, whose charae-
