 laughs. however. were entirely too infre-
 quent to make the performance above the tolerabie.
 Alphonse and Castor Is musical com. cay run to seed. The performance shows
 Just how far the elastic musical comedy Idea may be stretched. Many offenses are committed in the name of musical comedy, and perhaps after all there are worse offenses than "Alphonse and Gas ton" Let us admit this much any way.
 still when one reviews the vaudeville acts and jokes of the vintage of the early mneties that are here strung together to make the performance. the reflection grows that the theatre going public is pa- tient and optimistic.
 One is in measure prejudiced against the performance before he sees it. The 1act that the responsible parties had to go to the comic supplement of yellow Journal to get an idea does not in the least commend the performance. It's a poor place to go for an Idea. .
 And then Gaston and Alphonse were run out on the stage for few moments only in each act. Perhaps they could not stand much of the treatment that was handed to them. The poor things were slammed around in an awful way. One shudders to think what sort of condi- tion Gaston and Alphonse would have been in at the end of the performance If the unknown playwright had demanded a long stay of them on the stage.
 To the credit of Will Powers and An drew Powers, who essayed the roles, it is to be said they looked the parts.
 Out of the n1ediocrity and inferiority which surrounded him the work of Harry B. Wilson. in tramp role, sl1one clearly. In fact Watson would have been good in any company. A song by him made distinct hit and he gained a number of encores. It Is well to let the others pass.
 A large audience saw the show.

Each young woman was led to an apron and each gentleman to a spoon. Finding card with the souvenir each was told of task be to performed. Some were directed to cut lemons, some to cut up cheese some to preside over tea and cof- fee tables. some to show their skill at pre- pairing creamed turkey. Each was given a partner in the undertaking, and as the accomplished hostess had made things so easy each thought him or herself ac- complished in the art of cooking.

MONTGOMERY THEATRE.
Anonymous Production of Farce
 Comedy Failed to Please

The program of 'Alphonse and Gaston'' produced at the Montgomery Theatre last night bears the name of no manager. So far as the program went nobody pre- sented' "Alphonse and Gaston" nor was "Alphonse and Gaston" under the direc- tion" of any one.
 After witnessing the performance there comes the narrowing suspicion that the responsible manager is ashamed of the production. This rare modesty on the part ot the responsible parties cannot be too highly praised. One would not expect such delicacy of feeling. such appreciation of the proprieties as this on the part of sordid theatrical managers-managers who would produce such an entertain ment.
 There were some persons who enjoyed the performance. They sat in the gal lery. Stin there were others who sat in the parquet and in the dress circle who managed to draw several laughs out of what was transpiring on the stage. The
