NIGHT.
 Foxy Grandpa" will be at the Fly, perion tonight. The Worcester Ga
 zette says of this production: Foxy
 Granda,' with his grandsons, Club and
 Blunt, came to Worcester theater yes
 terday with w. A. Brady's company headed by Joseph Hart and Carrie De-
 Mar, The piece is a three-act musical
 farce comedy by R. Melville Baker and w. H. Batchelor, and the basis of the
 play is series of newspaper sketches.
 It is good vehicle for Hart and Miss DeMar to apply their vaudeville work
 to in a full evenings performance, The tricks and jokes of Foxy Grandpa and his grandsons are much in evidence
 throughout the piece, but never too much so. There is plot to the piece, but it is not of sufficient importance to | cause the audience any worry keeping track of it, but the audience is kept in a merry mood, for the piece goes with a snap and is catchy as a musical pro- duction.
 The story is told in hilarious man. ner by a large company of singing ar- lists. MT. Hart made an ideal Foxy Grandpa and his grandsons in the per- sons of Georgie Mack and Robbie Barry were merry fellows, full of life. splendid | singers, and, with MT. Hart, entertain | ed the audience immensely. The boys | were graceful and natural in their act | ing; AS a trio MT. Hart and the boys were hard to improve upon, Miss De- Mar is a vivacious little person, has a good voice and dances gracefully. The company is large, the piece is well stag ed, and last nights eneores were fre- quent.
 "The piece is filled with topical songs, including Military Charlie The Tight Rope Walker The Country Club and My Clementine,' There were several duett and quartette numbers, and the choruses were well sung. The Neapoli- tan Trio had principal place in the cast. and one of the features of the performance was the work of Arthur Borani, an athlete of no mean ability"
