"THE WOOING OF PRISCILLA"

More than one staid theatregoer who
would not care TO confess TO himself as
being very susceptible TO surface currents
was carried of his feet last night at the
fremont Theatre by the tremendous re,
ception given TO THE Wooing OF Priscil-
la" company.
IL must not be supposed, however. for
one moment. that 20 use hOmely phrase
the company was the whole show, but
such might be the impression some might
gain from the absolutely sincere applause
OF bulky proportions which was so free
ly bestowed. and 10y the deep undercurrent
OF loyalty which was clearly evident. This
impression might also find considerable
confirmation In the play itself, for GER
tRinly the author has, as perhaps was TO
be expected. allowed Priscilla to sway
and practically command the whole coll
ony OF Plymouth bay. with a few out
side Indians included. within the scope OF
her magnetism.

at night with evening coat but he Is
speedily told that this Is an offence, and
IT never happens again.
Another feature of this place Is the
freedom from gossip. No one dares 10
breathe a word OF this kind for he or she
would very soon be quietly told that
their presence was not wanted. Conse-
quently the atmosphere OF the place is
most harmonious and the people are some
OF the best. No one expects 20 meet an
objectionable person so all are soCiable
and have a kindly feeling for each other.
