Judging by the interest being dis
played in the farcical comedy "a Friend |
of the Family" which comes to the |
Grand Opera House Friday evening it |
will be the event of the season. The
story of the play deals with the endeav-
ors of an American importer of Japan
csc silks to shield a former love affair
with a beautiful young lady while in
Japan from his intensely Jealous and
romantic wife. Several relations and
friends of the fBmily are introduced and
eventually get 80 mixed up in affairs
that the interested party himself cannot
tell "a relative of the family" from a
Friend of the Family" Geo. W. Bar
mum as sporty silk importer, BARLEY
Swift and Miss Alice johnson as the
heroine of his first love affair are the
principal fun producers and they are
surrounded by an exceptionally large
and clever company of entertainers.
The dialogue and situations are said to
he overwhelmingly funny and are greatly
accumulated when presented by such ar
lists. The scenes being chiefly laid in
Japan, give ample scope for some quaint
and beautsful stage settings and Man
lger German has embraced every oppor-
unity of embellishing the surroundings ID
The gowns worn by Miss johnson and
'ther members of the gentler sex during
he action OF the play are revelations of
be dressmaker's art according to the 9
'lowing description furnished as by the
lress agent. ~
