man OF the team is a real hot coon and

| ed in the work abundant opportunity for
sparkling comedy work i'm both mascu-
lin and feminine, and the excellent
company which Otis h. Thayer has
gathered about him has undertaken the
work with jealous and conscientious
effort.
Ben Bascom, the Saint of Wall
Street" is the leading rule Of the piece,
and Mr.. Thayer is by nature adapted to
interpret the part as the gallant old fell
low who starts on round of pleasure
Just as soon as his wife is
fairly out of sight on her way To the
country for the summer. Mr. Thayer is
quite correct.
Annie Louise Tirrel, as Mrs. Ray
mond, the Tarrytown Widow" is win
some, and displays all the coquetry the
character demands. Gilbert Gardiner,
as Harry Sinclair Bascoms nephew, is
the model flirtatious young man, and
George Roman, as Count Amault, the
excitable and irrascible French noble
man. maintains the part very well in
deed. The role of Augustus Bascom is
in the hands of Francis Nelson, who is
indeed an ideal student of Epictatus
and makes very catchy transition
from the artless youth TO the wording.
The characters OF Ann Morris and
Annie Morris. her niece, are taken by
Ethel Hartslet and Marion Watts, re-
spectively. whilst that of Mrs. Bascom
is most ably handled by Magda Henry.
During the second and fourth acts
several topical songs were nterpolated
Miss Tirrel has a sweet soprano voice
and is a beautiful dancer into the bar
gain. Mr.. Thayer is always ready to
render his delicious baritone and gave
several up-to-date sketches with all the
finish TO be expected.

tinued each evening through the week
and at Tuesday, Thursday and Satur-
day matinees.

the channel to France without suffer-
ing untold tortures OF seasickness.
Trafic across the channel at certain
periods of the year is absolutely dam

voyage. The journey, which. under or

taken i'm little over a night, is some

North Atlantic Ocean around the Brit

channel with incredible rapidity.
Many of the schemes have been al

Danish civil engineer for building a
breakwater north of Wales. This, which
was to extend for many hundred feet
into the water. was to be constructed
south from Denmark and north from
Wales, leaving small open space
through which boats could sail. This.
the engineer claimed. would have a
tendency TO allow less water TO sweep

calm the tide. Other schemes of break
