The play is of the present day farce
comedy style, and is really farce in
three acts. For all that, it affords an
opportunity for some good character
work, and that it had. There was not a
weak part in the cast, and the audience
were kept in almost continuous laugh
| ter. There was good house, and fair
sum was realized for the benefit of the
Episcopal church.
