STANDING ROOM ONLY.
Great Success of "Mr. Bob as Played
by the Comedy Club.

Great Success of Mr.. Bob as Played
by the Comedy Club.
There was standing room only"
at the presentation of Mr. Bob, by
the Comedy Club last Friday evening
at the Maple Avenue School Building.
Those who attended the Shakespeare
Burlesque given by the same club
last year anticipted a treat, but the
talent shown in the production of
Miss Bakers amusing farce was a sur
prise to everyone.
A house overrun by AUNT Becky IS"
cats, maid with aspirations toward
the stage, but with time between re-
hearsals to make life miserable for
the butler, several cases of mistaken
identity, and a yacht-rac, provided
complications enough to furnish no
end of fun for Catherine and her
friend "Bob, !" and to make poor Mr..
Brown, the lawyers clerk, wonder
whether he has dropped into lunatic
asylum.
The trouble is all the result of
GATHERINGS plan, which succeeds only
only too we'll, to settle old scores with
her cousin Philip. She announces the
expected visit of her friend "Bob'
whom Philip supposes to be a man,
and for whom he plans royal good
time. "Bob :" who is in reality is a
young lady, Miss Marion Bryant, is
taken into the secret by Catherine,
and introduced to Philip as Miss
Bryant, while the unsuspect1ng Philip
finds Mr.. Brown in the parlor, and,
taking him for "Bob" gives him an
enthusiastic reception, refusing to
hear his explanation of why he came
down. F"
Miss Walsh took the part of Cathe-
rine with her usual vivacity, and Miss
Kugler that of GATHERINGS friend,
"Mr. Bob. (" Mr.. Charles Corwin as
Philip, and Mrs. Oliver Day as Patty,
the maid, received repeated applause.
Miss Starck as Aunt Becky, maiden
lady with cats on the brain. had
troubles of her own and few to spare
for other people. Mr.. Higgins, as
Aunt Becky's butler, combined "the
dignity of Jenkins with admiration
for the giddy Patty, while Mr.. Oliver
Day got into so many complications
in trying to keep the name of Brown
that he seemed in danger Of becoming
a permanent inmate of the "house
full of lunatics. "
Instrumental and vocal music, the
latter by boys chorus from the pub
lie school. was rendered between the
acts.
Altogether it was most enjoyable
entertainment, and those present will
look forward with pleasureto the next
appearance of the Comedy Club.

In an article ON the Methodist Gen
eral Conference, the Independent says /;
''Dr. j. NJ Buckley is easily the
first and most conspicuous among the
leaders of the General Conference. He
speaks more frequently than any other
man; but he invariably helps to the
right solution of question. He is
never tiresome to the conference, and
of course the throng of visitors who
crowd the boxes and galleries are de-
lighed to hear him. His wide and
generally accurate knowledge of the
multitudinous questions which arise,
his keenness in debate, his consum-
mate mastery of parliamentary law,
his convincing logic and amazing
mental alertness, and withal his
honesty of purpose and fairness to
foes, make him q mighty man and
leader. 1t is very interesting to see
how often he is able to turn the tide.

of his influence. He is always him

His Lecture in Osborne Hall-Prospects
 of the Theater.
 The lecture on '"The Drama by Dr. William Lyon Phelps was attended last evening by so large an audience that an adjournment was made from the EngIish seminary room to Osborn hall In order to accommodate the attend- ance.
 ! Dr. Phelps began his lecture with some interesting statistics on the ages of actors and actresses. He said the average age of all actors at the pres ent day was fifty-tive years and of ac- tresses fifty-two; of star actors sixty six and of star actresses sixty-one.
 He then discussed the significance of the various component parts of theat- rical amusement offered in New York last night Of thirty-seven perform ances. twelve were vaudeville, three comic operas, seven melodramas, SIX comedies and the remainder tragedies and farces, with one grand opera. lie said the great number of vaudeville performances furnished no ground TOT alarm concerning the future ot the the ater, but was rather encouraging thah otherwise, because it showed very clearly that the lines of demarkatlon were plain and that horse-play and inharmonious comedy would ultimately he eliminated from the drama proper and relegated to their proper place. He said also that vaudeville was most largely attended by the transient popu- 1ation and that all who attended Vaude- ville went only to be amused and that Thus vaudeville fulfilled its destiny in it's own peculiar field.
 He said that the cry that the theater was going to the dogs" was an old one. heard distinctly in the prologue to Jonson's 'Valpone and that never had this fear been more groundlesS than now. He said the prospects were very good and attributed this to the fact That pIays were now written for pub 1ica,tion more than formerly and an ap- neal was therefore made to the literary judgment. The copyright encourages This. Yet the writing of novels with an eve to dramatization, or dramas to De transformed into novel is to be de- plored.
 Jbsen's mastery of the dialogue and in a lesser degree Anthony Hopes are elements in the improvement Of the drama. Ibsen while sometimes indecent is never inartistic.
 Arthur Jones publishes most charm ing literary plays. Pinero is more the piaywrignt and less the literary artist. "Cyrano de Bergerac" and Stephen Phillips "Paola and Francesca are great, both dramatically and as litera- ture, and have demonstrated that drama in verse is possible.

 Meriden's defeat of Hartford in the Silver City last night again places the Blues in the lead for the pennant. The game tonight with Waterbury at Bowling hall will be an interesting event as the result of the same will in some measure indicate the final result of the race. The Waterburys are putting up a strong game and were able to defeat the fast Fall River aggregation in the latter teams rink last night.
