sIn Convict Stripes which was
presented in Weiser last Saturday
evening by B. G. Whitney and his
company, was one of those taking
plays which catch, and hold the at
tention of the audience. The com
pany was composed of 6rst-clas
actors, but an otherwise good per-
Torrance was ruined by one or two
members of the company who had
something funny among themselves.
1t is an insult to the audience for
performers to be snickering through
their parts and displaying in a dis
gushing manner that they have some
silly morsel of amusement to which
they are paying more attention thar
to their parts. The next company
that is afflicted with 'smart" mem
bers should get a jar of some kind
at the first ''break, that will sobel
it down.
