THE HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT.
YOUNGSTOWN o., Sept. 12.-(special.)

farce by George II. Broadhurst, produced
at the opera house tonight, scored an uu-
equ1Vocal success. Almost at the opening
of the first act the audience was put IN
larghing Eun6r, and the meriiment con-
tinued right octhe fall of the final cur
tain. The play IS constructed on very
novel lines. the second act in which a
room is papered in view of the audience
being particularly new and striking. The
story revolves around a paper hanger who
has been engaged to do work on a house
being built by Doctor Jack To him
comes Sir Edward Singleton, who has
seen and fallen inslove with Hester, the
Doctors daughter Hester, however, be-
lieves in the down-trodden workingman
and despises the aristocracy. Sir Ed
ward therefore, persuades the paper
hanger to pass him off as an assistant
workman, and when he makes his appear
ance in workmans Jacket and overaiIs
Hester is Immediately impressed by the
bearing Of this magnificent specimen of
the American workman. Mrs Dooley, a
wealthy widow DESTROYS of marrying her
daughter to a member of the nobility
discovers that Sir Edward is there in
disguise but mistakes the genuine paper
hanger for him. On this the author has
built his plot. The lines of the play are
exceptionally bright and tho characters
cleverly drawn. Acting honors fell to
Thomas A. Wise, as paper-hanger, and
Mrs. annie Xeamans as Mrs. DooIey
Her daughter Jennie appeared as the van
deville woman Miss Brandon Douglas as
Hester, Anita Bridger as a Japanese girl
Charley Cherry as Sir Edward and AL

ure but long on romance. Others in the
cast were Fred W. Peters, Herbert Az
ling, Harrison Armstrong. Roy Fairchild,

ton and Grace Dudley.
