THE BEST YET.
Nat Goodwin's San American In
Europe" Delights a large
Audience.

The audience which listened
to the Hoyt production Of AN
American in Europe" at the
Wagner last night unhesitating-
ly voted it the best play of the
week.
Mr.. Kelley in the title role
gave, in the minds Of many IN
the audience, the strongest. por-
trayal Of his engagement, lend.
ing to the character of Silas
woolcott an interesting person
ality. Mr.. Brewer, for the even
ing only, dropped his usual char
acter Of a designing william, and
convinced the audience that he
is not only a good heavy, " but
can enact the role of a juvenile as
well when occasion requires.
1t was also Miss Bennett S
night to shine. This capable act
ress had a splendid part, and her
conception of the character as
signed her for the evening was
excellent. Miss Melnotte and
Mr.. Sutherland gave their usual
clever renditions, while the sup
port Of the entire cast was good.
Tonight closes the engagement
and it is with a feeling of sincere
regret that the people Of Chicka-
sha bid goodbye to the Hoyt
Comedy Co, hoping that they
will return next season.
