At the Duncan.

1t was a large and uncommonly en-
thusiastic audience that turned out 70
witness the presentation Of The
Midnight Express at the Duncan last
night. There are some clever people
in the company. Jolly Zeb is q low
comedian Of quite unusual ability.
His specialties convulsed the house.
and his part in the play was well ia.
ken. 1t was all the more acceptable.
in that the rollicking humor relieved
the piece from the sombreness of the
tragedy that darkened the last two
acts. The part of Sir William More
head was taken with considerable apt.
ness by Joseph Allir. Trixie Lewis,
as Bess, the fisher maiden, made her
self a favorite.
The comedy features were the best
part tot the play. Some excellent
scenery was carried, but conditions
doubtless contributed t q hinder the
climaxes from being as full Of thrill
as was expected. The Sieger sisters,
while far from being dramatic stars
Of the first magnitude, are experts on
the cornet, and their special numbers
were most enthusiastically received.
Despite the weakness of some Of the
company, those who attended last
night enjoyed the evening immensely.
It will probably be long ere they listen
to a more skillful entertainer than he
who has justly earned for himself the
title Of Jolly Zeb."

swindles which he is said to have car
ried on for years shows that the man
was Of larger calibre than he had been
given credit for being. 1t is not every
man who can live a double life as Pen
nell did and keep his true character
concealed from his intimate friends for
so long Pennell always conducted him
self as a gentleman. He moved In good
society, met his friends in society and
in business. maintained a good front
and never in any way by public act or
deed justified the suspicion that he
was not a man Of honor. If Pennell
had nerve enough to do that, he had
nerve enough to commit greater
crimes"
Mr.. Coatsworth said that it probably
would not be possible at the Pennell
inquest to bring out the story of Pen
nells alleged defalcations.
