To say the situations in "My Friend

on Tuesday, January g. by the Myron B
Rice Comedy company, are amusing,
would be expressing it very mildly. Sew
eral Of them are so absolutely ludicrous,
and yet so natural, that the audience
esimply roars until it is tired. The auth
or, H. A Du Souchet- classes his play as
a farce and he is right. The lines al
most reach the dignity of comedy and
in its class the play is ideal It is up
rOariously funny all the time. The rule
in farces is anything to create a laugh
all sorts of extremes are INDUCED in,
and very often the vulgar is approached
My Friend from India" is an exception
to the rule. The numor is Of the right
kind. The author furnished sufficiently
funny situations and cIimaxes when he
wrote the play, thus saving the actors
the necessity Of going outside the lines
to make amusement The average aud
fence appreciates this, because it so sell

that is needed is q good company, and
