Partner" Tuesday night and was
really astonished that repertoire
company in this section could carry
such an excellent cast and the seen
cry this company carries. Every
other performance, We are told. has
been every bit as good as Tuesday
night. The attendance has been
very poor, owing no doubt to the
busy time OF tho year in business as
we'll as social %circIes, This is to
DO very much regretted, as it is
very seldom indeed we have here the
opportunity OF enjoying such fine
performances.
We should enjoy going a personal

every consideration, but christmas
time is a very busy reason with Us
as we'll as others. In justice to the
company however, we must pause
10 call especia. attention TO the fine
work OF Mr.. aud Mrs. Swain and
Mrs. Arlington. Mrs. Swain has
the appearance Of a refined, healthy
and res!'y beautiful lady which was
something of disappointment as we
have beou led TO believe by the
yearly visits Of Jolly Della that
all women Ia repertoire companisa
must necessarily be emac,ated, and
bedrAggled cresturs. Mrs. SWANS
work was so hno that the ever
present hoodlums were hnshed many
times to the stiffness of dsath. Mrs.
Arringson IS . most acceptable
soubratte in her acting and looks like
a thirteen year Old school girl.
Mr.. Swain Is a comedian Of marked
ability and in fact every member Of
the company are -esily msritorious
performers. The scenery carried
is new and there is plenty Of it
The specialties include illustrated
songs, which are always interesting.
