pecially so with respect to the Pythias Of
John f Miles and Damon of W. J. Butler.
The latter is given more scope for his ability
in the role Of Damon than in any other in
which he has appeared here and he gives it
conscientious Interpretation. Frank Lee
Miles was also very good as Diouysius and
Miss Junie Swift deserves favorable mention
for her Calanthe. The production as a whole
was ono in which the company can take
pride. The waits between acts were en-
Iivened by the specialties of Eva Williams,
