any other popular-priced theater on the
/ Coast.
In the third and best edition OF who
Is Who with Pusey and st. John in the
cast. the author, IL is said. has succeeded
In giving a happy compromise between
genteel comedy ard the uproarious horsr-
play that has for some seasons usurped the
place of comedy. His incidents are broad
ly but not ahsurdly conceived, and Il no
has dealt freely with the improbable he has
not pestered with unreasonably fantastic
characters and episodes. Rather he has
shown "A most commendable ingenuity In
! evolving "a series OF laughable or semi-sert-
Gus happenings and complications from
a simple though unique proposition.
n young man named Jack Hartland, ad-
mitted to the bar. wishes TO enter upon
the practice of his chosen profession.
Aware of the few chances f~avoring "A Pc
glnner in a great city. he tries in vain
20 associate himself with some already ss-
tahlished lawyer. and as "a hnal expedient
to gain tho confidence of would-be li.i-
giants lie invents a partner and becomes
the Junior member Of the supposititious
firm Of Memo II Hartland. Though this
device does not produce a sudden growth
of clients, the misunderstanding arising
from the continuous absence Of Memo and
the somewhat incoherent explanations of
Hartland. lead 10 results that would be Sc
rious for the enterprising and eyer-cleyer
Hartland but Tor the lucky Intervention II

witness TO the integrity OF Hartland's
moral character. One Of the amusing
phases OF the play is the weil-connected
chain Of ciroumstantial evidence welded
about Hartl0nd as the suspected murderer
Of Memo, a mere creature Of fancy.
There ls a pleasing ,ove story woven 10
with the business pecplexities OF the brief
less young lawyer. his troubles with MS
sweetheart being as persistentIy provoking
as those with creditors and detectives.
The agreeable nonsense Is said to be un-
tagging ia the excitement 81 interest. and
the love passages that are interspersed
as tho relief are uniquely Favored with
humor. An abundance Of new and up-t0-
