The NeiII Company.

The Neill company further showed its
versatility last night by giving a splendid
comedy capt Lettarbiair," pretty
love story. cleverly written by Marguerite
Warrington. AS In the previous produce
lions by this company, the piece was ex-
cellently staged, every detail being care
fully carried out. The action of the COM
edy Is too well known to theater-goers to
need comment. something which might
also be eaid of the company, which has
already popularized itself in Seattle by its
high-class work in such high-class COM
edies as "A Gilded Foor' and "A Bache-
lor's Romance"
James Neill, in the title role, gave fn-
ished performance of the keen-witted Irish
captain. Probably no other character on
the stage today is more apt to be over
drawn than an Irish gentleman, and to
Mr.. Neilfs credit may it be said that he
gave a splendid portrayal of the charac-
ter The other members of the comedy
were well taken care Of. especially the
whose door scene in the second act was
one of the best pieces of acting ever wit
messed on the Seattle stage.
The company will appear every night
during the remainder of the week. and on
Sunday night On Saturday it will give
Lord Chumley'' as matinee. Tonight
Amy Robsart" a romantic drama In four
acts will be the bill. On Friday night

night. and the engagement will close Sun
probably be second production of "A
