appreciation OF humor enabled him to

excruciatlngly funny in his female attire
and female mannerisms that 1t was with
difficulty that his fellow players restrained

of laughter from the audience. HIS tune

Miss Ingram was delightfully."- piquante
and vivacious Kitty Verdun, and deserved
the hearty applause given her. She played
the proposal scene with delicious coquetry
and an appreciation OF the comedy points
which made her portrayal a pronounced
success This Is Miss Ingram's final ap-
pearance this season, as she, leaves on
Saturday evening TO accept an engage
ment for the regular season. The hearty
ovation extended TO her last evening. and
the floral tributes are doubtless but the
beginning of those the clever little favor
ite will be given during the remaining
performances of the week, for she Is one
of the most popular favorites OF the Albee
company
Mr.. Craig and Mr.. Byrne as the two
college chaps, Jack Chesney and Charley
Wykeham. played with the ease and
naturalness that characterizes the work
Of these two clever actors. and both were
responsible I'm a large degree to the snap
and vim Of the evenings performance.
Miss Reimer was a delightfully."- sponta-
neous Donna Lucia, the real aunt. and
Mr.. Losee, as Sir Francis Chesney con-
tributed TO the laughter OF the evening
by his two proposals,-irst to the sup
posed aunt. and later TO the real one
bringing out every little subtle point
with the hnesse Of the true artist he is.
Miss Rivers played Amy Spettigue with
grace and skill and Mr.. owen. was very
amusing as stephen Spettigue. especially
in the scenes when he endeavors TO en-
trap the sham aunt into a quiet corner
where he proposes TO her.
Miss Lisle Leigh. who assumed the role
of Ella Deahay at short notice, was given
la warm welcome and acquitted herself
with the ceveruess for which she is
/ known to local playgoers Mr.. Turner did
| a very excellent bit OF character work as
/ Brassette. the valet OF Jack Chesney,
making a success Of a role which in less
I competent hands would have been insig

/ iey's Aunt once should see II again. for
Z IL Is the kind of play which Is enjoyable
! no matter how many times Il is seen,
/ and those who have never seen IL should
/ not lose the opportunity 10 do so this
week That few people intend losing this
opportunity Is evidenced by the large
advance sale for the week.
Next weeks attraction by the Albee
company will be Plnero's merry comedy

At, the u -
Theatres

Without hesitation or exaggeration
"Charley's Aunt" the screaming farce in
which the Albee Stock company are sp-
at Keith's this week. may be de-
clared the funniest play ever seen at that
favorite theatre. The audience last
evening was an unusually large one and
there was not moment I'm the entire
play that the FUN was not uproarious. 1t
starts at the very beginning OF the first
act and continues until the final cur
tain. Indeed. so curiously funny Is it and
hilarious is the laughter Il elicits that
there were many occasions I'm which the
action Of the play was reduced TO panto-
mime 1t would be impossible TO pick
out any especially funny scenes, for all
were decidedly laughabl and the pauses
between the acts were indeed welcome
as they gave the audience opportunity
TO recover from the convulsive laughter
which mastered them. In brief. Char
ley's Aunt" may be said to be exactly
the play local theatregoers should not
miss for II Is unquestionably the biggest
laughing hit,--not only Of the season, -
but of the Albee companys history.
