ofthe bright society play, My daughter

have met WITH general favor. The
audience had been led to expect great
deal of the play, especially Of the lead
ing lady, Miss Convere and they were
not disappointed. The performance
deserved a much larger house. With
out an exception the c.a.yany Is g
strong one. There was real ack;,.E

The characters understood their work,
and not even movemenfop their part
was unnatural" Tickets and reserved
