 In reviewing the performance the Nash vile American said:
 "1t was merry Christmas at the Ven dome on Friday afternoon and evening, one of the happiest, brightest and most jovial of occasions It is going to be the same this afternoon and evening, for there are two more performances of "A Friend of the Family left for Nashville, and it is pity that there are not dozen instead.
 Few farce comedies as good as this one have ever been seen in this city. There never was play that held more laughs to the minute than this rare. rich and wholesome offering. "A Friend of the Family came here practically stranger, but by the time the trunks are packed and checked to the next stop. this same Friend will have been recorded as just what the name implies, another theatrical friend and favorite added to Nashville's s list"

At the Bijou.

large audience was present at the Biiou last night to witness the initial per formance of Little Church Around the corner.' which wasaprese| ted by com pany above the average for melo dramatic productions.
 The plot deals with the attempt of an interruptions lawyer to ruin the reputa- ton of a good woman and debauch her husband with drink and the imprison- ment of both in an insane asylum to fur ther his own ends. He fails in his pur- pose and is finally run to earth by street urchin, who is the steadfast friend of the unhappy wife.
 Harrison Grey, the husband was well acted by Al. G. Swenson; Harold Cahill portrayed the villainous lawyer, Phillip Vinton in most acceptable manner The two children Master LeRoy Sumner and Geraldine Tripp, did some exceptionally good work, and will prove strong drawing cards during the week. The rest of the cast were equal to the role assigned them, and altogether the performance pleased the audience and elicited much applause.
 The scenery was very good, and that showing the Little Church Around the Corner, brilliantly illuminated, while a ly pretty and effective. There will be the usual matinee this afternoon and the reg ular performance tonight.

The David Warfeld smile will finger quite as long in the memory as the recol- lection of his inimitable performance in 'The Auctioneer," at the Jefferson the- atre last night. This Is a play that ap- peals to an audience by it's blending of humor and pathos. Even in the saddest scenes there is a flash of wit which dis pels the gloom
 "The Auctioneer" has proven such success on the road that the public is familiar with it's theme. The story is an old one of elevation to wealth and a sud- den fall with everything bright at the end. But the Warfield interpretation makes it an interesting story and one that abounds in homely philosophy AL though there were strong passages scat tered through the play the humorous features predominated.
 Placed in the difficult role of leading &C., tor in practically a one-man play, MT. Warfield acquitted himself well-so well, in fact, that he was accorded quite an ovation at the close of the second act. In the famous auction scene and while con- ducting his little shop. his delineations of the Ghetto character was that of a mas ter. In his awkward adaptation to life in a higher sphere he was quite as amus- ing
 Although the play is generally consid- cred a travesty, there were traits of character revealed that would have dig nifed a much more pretentious person. age than a former street pedder, who was again reduced to his lowly station by the inevitable villain.
 MT. Warfield has surrounded himself with a company capable of playing the comparatively empty parts they are call ed upon to assume. Marie Bates, as Mrs. Eagan, was typically Irish, and gave talented performance. Her brogue and wittcisms did much to en- liven the play, when it threatened to drag. All the other members of the company were not required to do very much with the exception of Marie Davis, who. as Mrs. Levi, was excel lent
 It is rather hard to criticise "The Auctioneer,' for it's excellent points overshadow it's defects, but at times the action appears to lag, and Mir Warfield preferred to dispell all the pathos from the strongest scenes by his witticisms so that quite a number in the audience were always laughing at the wrong time
