Last Night

The last week of the Chapman Warren
company seems destined to be a record
breaker, both in point of excellence of per-
formances and attendance. Last night the
theater was crowded by an audience that
wanted to laugh, and laugh it did. "All a
Mistake" was the bill presented.
Miss Blanche Warren was quite fetching
as the wife whose extreme beauty was the
cause of the whole trouble, and her "tipsy"
scene in the second act was a dainty bit,
ceverly handled. Mr.. Chapman shared
honors with her, and they were ably as
sisted by Mr.. Lee. Miss Glenn, Mr.. Shep-
hard Mr.. Carlton Miss Rice, Mr.. Adams
and Miss Hart.
Earl p Adams and Miss Marion Hart
appeared in new specialties, and each were
compelled to respond to several well-earned
and hearty encores
The same bill will prevail tonight, with
a change tomorrow night, at which time
the company will present "A True Ken
tuckian."
