MT. Evans fin "rhe Runaway..-

Any company of actors presenting a musical comedy in it's third or fourth season is at a disadvantage, because comparisons are inevitable. So it is that George Evans and his company in The Runaways'' at the Montgomery Theatre last night did not seem to put the dash and hilarity into the enter tainment that we have enjoyed in the past.
 For the fag-end of a fat theatrical week. MT. Evans and his associates may we'll felicitate themselves on the size of the audience that greeted them and the reception they were accorded. The theatre was nearly filled and the audi ence appeared to be fairly well l-pleased with the musical comedy. But when one has seen Arthur Dunn, Harry Mee- han. Helen Lord Mabel Carrier and other clever people who were here last year and the year before in The Run aways," MT. Evans and his company cannot be appreciated.
 MT. Dunn was ridiculously funny as "Blutch." MT. Evans is foolishly fun ny. There Is a difference. MT. Evans did not please the audience of last night entirely until he sang "A Kiss for Each Day in the Week." with six handsome show girls. He did this song we'll and the audience gave him gen. erous applause It may be said that Mir. Evans is ahead of MT. Dunn in one respect. He has a better singing voice.
 MT. Dox is the only member of the old company now with The Runa- ways" and his Dr. Fleecem was one of the best things in the entertainment. MT Wallace sang his numbers pleas ingly.
 Several new songs have been inter- polated in the piece, and there was some new business" which might as well have been omitted. Down in the Old Town Hall' and burlesque, for ex- ample.
 The company is large, but it lacks a great deal of being a singing organi- zation. There was the usual number of pretty girls. brilliantly gowned, and the scenic investment was ade- quate.
 After all, The Runaways" appeared somewhat frayed, and at times 1t palled on the audience. It will not be re- membered as one of the weeks suc- ceSses,

 It is undoubtedly true that the public wants to see what 1t calls good foot ball." but 1t does not follow that the clamor for a paid exhibition is a suf- ficient reason for colleges to provide it at loss of things more important to their well-being That 1t will be done at that cost. if done as t has been, is the belief of many graduates and friends of the colleges and rf many of the faculty in football coi- leges." The public wants the excite ment and is willing to pay for it. The question is whether the colleges can afford to furnish it.

 Greenwich, Conn. Dec. 29.-In ignor- ance that an explosion which had shaken the house was more than Q trivial affair. the guests of Charles H. Mallory at Bryamshore last night con- tinued their merriment. It was several hours later that they learned that James Mackey, Mir. Mallory's head gardener lost his life and that several thousand dollars worth of damage had heen done
 MT Mallory. who is the head of the steamship line of that name, had a score of friends from New York and Brooklyn for a party and they had just begun to play cards when a gas tank in a green house $50 feet from the residence blew up
 The detonation was heard for five miles. It shattered every glass in the green houses on the estate and the windows on one side of the home. It blew a servant off his feet and brought the guests from their seats Mackey's body was later found one hundred feet from the explosion by his wife who had gone in search of him. The guests though startled did not realize the extent of tho accident until the party broke up.

MT. Dudley At the BIiou.

Frank Dudley continued last night his triumph of the first performance of Dr. Jekyll and Mir. Hyde at the Bijou theatre A notable feature of the sec ond night of MT. Dudley was the mark ed improvement in his support.
 Whereas on the first night some few lines in the subsidiary parts were trip ped by negligence of some sort every thing was smooth last evening. Con- seuuently the flattering Audience en- joyed the performance more if possible. than did that of the original perform ance.
 Mir Dudley continues his good appal- ling work in the transformation to MT. Hyde The intelligence of his acting in this role keeps the artist in his bounds and this accounts for. the work being both good and appalling.
 MT Meyers as Mir. Ulterson handled his part with the dignity that is ex- nected and Miss Aubrey in the part of Sybil Carew kept up her meritorious work
