COMEDY DELIGHTS BIG HOUSE

The versatile McVay with his
clever associate players surprised
and delighted big house with
their production of the popular
comedy "The Late Mr.. Jones'" at
the Opera House last Saturday
evening Ii a large audience, in
Guiding a demonSirstive gallery;
alternating laughter and applause,
and continuous expectancy are
any indications of success, then
Mr.. McVav and his excellent sup
port scored triumph. The come
dy is most amusing and enter :
tanning one, it is alive from be
ginning to end with the most un.
expected and ridiculous situations
and holds the surprised attention
of all throughout. A young at
torney troubled with an ambition
for greatness as Il playright, in.
viegles his friends into supporting
him in his play, the plot Of which
includes a generous supply of
killing. A smart detective and a
watchful mother in law figure
principally in mistaking impromp.
tur rehearssls for genuine murder
plots. This makes things exciting
and delightfully."- complicated, 10
which state they remain until one
OF the supposedly murdered is ac-
cused Of killing his murderer after
which everything naturally is
made clear.
Mr.. McVay has shown him :
self to be equally at home in
comic or tragic roles. His ease OF
manner, perfection OF characteriz-
alton and ad mirable presence have
rendered him as popular in this
city as elsewhere. AS John Phil,
lip Macready Burbage he improv
ed to the best advantage the op
portuuilies of the part and made
a most decided hit.
Mr.. Boggs as Gregory Graysin
did we'll and was particularly
good in several catchy songs.
Herbert L. Shaw as Graysin's
secretary proved himself most
capable, aud the Misses Ellen
Boyer aud Harvard displayed
much talent. The company is a
good one and certainly met the
of the audience with
their excellent work.
On Saturday next, June %, the
great Southern melodrama "The
Octoroon" will be produced. Mr..
McVay will appear in the part
made famous by Joe Jefferson,
that oil "Salem Scudder."
