Ill. was acceptably filled by Elizabeth
Woodson.
The company was all good, the stage
setting artistic, and the musical num-
bers catchy and bright. Among the
most enjoyable songs were those of
William Keough, who has a fine bari
tone. The ballets, of which there are
several, were skilfully done, under the
leadership. of a talented little dancer
Miss Ethel Levey. At the end of the
first act, which closes on a particu
larly pretty ballet, six or eight curtain
calls were given, and the same was
true after the second act.
The audience at the matinee was
large, and the house at night was
crowded. At the evening perform

Sweet Glover" will be seen this
week with Mr.. Otis Thayer as the
star. The play is credited with being
one of those compositions that linGer
in the memory of the lover of really
good plays. 1t is surely just a bit re-
freshing to again witness a wholesome
welf-written play that does not insult
the intellect, for after the maudlin
impossible melodrama, the rough
knock-about farce comedy and the vul-
gar burlesque, one turns instinctively
to the better class of drama and takes
moral bath. There could be no hap
pier title than Sweet Clover" for in
itself 1t almost tells the story of the
play.
