The Americas dramatic critic fell foul
OF this performance in free terms:
The Philippine Theatre was crowded
Friday night TO see the exhibition of the
'Baron;s Revenge. The revenge was aw-
ful. Children should not witness it, Tue
effect upon immature minds will be life
lasting. The Red Cross was represented
in the audience, and wisely, TOO, for many
sick may be the result of the tragedy and
perhaps valuable knowledge may be gained
relative TO the effect of mental excitement
upon the physical well-being Of our brave
but pleasure-loving soldisry.
The audience was extremely critical,
but as all were first nighters' the actors
Will not give undue weight to the deicately
expressed criticisms. however sincere they
may appear.
''One criticism often made during the
evening was couched in the form Cf ad-

The fourth act OF the tragedy was well
worth the compliment of ones preSencr,
and those persons who had received com

ashamed to demand their money upon
leaving the theatre.
In all. the performance was well worth

challenges appear to be for wrestling.
OF local news the paper has rich and
varied stock, most OF which is cu1led from
the provost courts. Here is an item which
suggests that the genus cabby is the same
no matter what his nationality may be:
''Basilio Villiana is IA driver OF quiles
and Signorita CASTILLO is n charming young
woman who hired the quiles for an hours
drive. AT the expiration of that time she
paid Nilliana so cents, being 10 cents more
than the legal rate. The man. however
