1t is two weeks since the Alpha first
started from Vancouver for Japan. Az.
ter she had been four days out she re.

Last Saturday the Alpha left Victoria

The best and most legitimate comedy that
George II. Broadhurst has given to the stage is
'lhe House that Jack Built" which was pre-
scnted at the L,ccum last night There is a
rational story out OF which grow rational situa.
tions and rational dialogue that is clever
throughout and III parts even brilliant 1t Is Il
comedy in which there is departure from the
never ending complication Of incidents and idcn.
titles with which nearly all of the later day
light comedies have been abundantly supplied
The story OF the comedy is drectness itself.
DR.. Jack owns house which he is having re-.
modelled and rebuilt, and Willie Slab is a
paper hanger who is employed there Dr. Jack
has asked Sir Edward Singleton, an amateur:
architect and authority on mural decorations, to
give him some suggestions the interior col.
orngs. The doctor and Sir Edward have never
met. DIR. Jack has a daughter, Hester, who is
theorist about social conditions She says
there is 10 real dignity save in labor. She
abhors titles and has told her father and pro-
claimed to her friends that the man she marries
Must be an industrious toiler.
Sir Edward hears OF this and his curiosity is
aroused. lie feels that this is the wcnan ior
him, when she is cured OF her vagaries, and to
enable him to woe h,r working man he in.
hlces Willie slab TO employ him his assistant
and introduce him his brother Result, he
falls in love with Miss Jack, she falls in love
with him and in the end every thing is happily
Strengthened ont. his is the main thread of
the comedy and from it shoot several lateral
threads of comedy which furnish iood for mirtli.
Thomas A. Wise was the Willie Slab of the
cast and most natural and effective he was i'll
the role OF the man who was paper hanger
through force Of circumstances, but plumber
at heart. Little Alfred Klein had IA role that
gave him ar opportunity Of doing the most lesit-
innate work o his career. and Mrs. Annie Yea
