The presentation at the Auditorium on
Wednesday evening, for the second time in
Brattleboro, of Mr. Broadhurst's farce
"What Happened to Jones" confirmed the
reputation of that piece as a remarkably
clever bit of clean finn for an evenings d.
version. In the number of critical and
embarrassing situations in which the mar
in the title role contrives to find himself in
two hours time, and in the way In which
he extTicates himself from them all, the
play is unique. What is more and better
it is a two hours during which one may
laugh and find himself with no bad TASTE
in his mouth at the end. The leading
parts were admirably taken, and there wal
a good support throughout.
