AT THE PLAY.

Last night the Calef company
gave a most excellent perform
ance to small but highly appre-
ciative audience, the bill being
that laughable comedy, "An At
tsrney at Law" The work Of Mr..
Waldron as "the attorney" was
Just about as near perfect as it
could be made and his makeup
was as good as a character sketch
IRON Dickens by Gibson. Miss
Calef sustained her reputation in a
clever Interpretation Of the part Of
Polly, and caught the crowd with
her singing and whistling. The
other parts were well cast and in
main we'll sustained. The special
ties were numerous and were
alone well worth he price OF adj
mission. Mr.. McDougalfs illus.
trated songs and Miss LaVaunts
dancing are especially worthy OF
praise and brought forth the most
vociferous applause.
The patronage received so far is
clearly not up to the merits Of the
company and has been very dis
appiniing to the management.
Mr.. Waldron is honestly endeav-
oring to give good show at popu.
lar prices and we believe he sue
ceeded last night in highly salts
factory way.
The play tonight will be "Un-
Gle Josh, and We hope the attend.
ance during the remainder of the
week will be more encouraging.
