Holmes, a London detective, to appre-
hend noted crook by the name of
Carrigan,
Holmes encounters all sorts of thrill
ling experiences. but in the end lands
his man. AS Sherlock Holmes, Mr..
Keane gave a splendid performance.
The role is a most trying and difficult
one and one calculated to tax the skin
OF the most finished artist.
Herbert Ashton. as Carrigan the
crook. made one Of the hits of the
play and some excellent work was done
by H. Clay Robinson, as a gentlemanly
crook. Miss Campion, Miss Hartley,
Miss Branscombs all made decided hits.
This evening the laughable farce
comedy, "Charley's Aunt" will be the
bill.
