Play That Made a Hit

In the Metonymical sense, the Dun
can opera house held its sides hard
last night. 1t was for laughing pur-
poses alone that the farce comedy
"A Friend of the Family" was built,
and as presented last night 1t achiev-
ed its aim to nicely There Is no
pretense of a plot In the piece and
no apology for its lack. Neither the
one nor the other is needed. The
play consists of an accelerating SER
les of ridiculous and unnatural eli
makes which appeal with uncommon
force to the risibilities of an audi
ence
With the exception of pretty Miss
Magrane there are no particularly
strong actors. But the standard of
merit averages up well There are
no weak brothers and sisters. The
play goes off with dash that the
rapidity of the happenings calls for
and the listener has not had time I
complete one laugh before another
is due Last nights audience thor
oughly enjoyed the piece. The cos
tunes of the feminine members Of
the troupe were, by the way, admir-
able.

One Count

To the Editor Of The OpTic.
Reference has been twice made In
your columns to the young man, Fred
Smith, from Des Moines, Iowa. The
facts are these: He arrived here about
one month ago IN dying condition
and had letter from the city physi.
cian of Des Moines, stating that he had
been sent, and hoped no would be
placed In some philanthropic institu,
ton. Also, that he was an orphan
had been in Des Moines two weeks
and the Humane Society could be
drawn on for $50 90. This is the first
instance that has occurred Of this kind
in the life Of the Ladies' Relief So.
ciety and they think that Dcs Moines
should have due credit for their good
intentions.
Mrs. A. d. HIadISs,
President Il. X. Il.
In referring to the unhappy case
of Mr.. Smith, we limited that the Des
Moines city physician lacked either
common honesty or professional intel
ligence In sending dying man Ia
New Mexico for his health. The let
ter published above may clear the
physician on the former count, but
he should certainly be convicted OF
the latter, II the young man came
here by his advice. Doubtless the In.
tentions Of the good women Of the
Des Moines Humane society were ex.
cellent. No very high compliment
can be paid 20 their judgment, how.
ever. In sending doomed man TO die
among strangers In this city. II was
fortunate that the ladies' Home was
able to receive him and care for him
in his last hours Still the sum OF
money appropriated for Mr.. Smith
would have made him much moro
comfortable at home. II is true be-
yond question that such slips In
judgment asten the end of many in.
