wish to see the tree to inspect it.

: the strength of this recommendation
comedy-hungry people of this city
cheerfully planked down their rs cents
per seat and filled the Auditorium fol-
; the rising of the curtain on the play
They were led to believe that the
piece was a comedy of above usua
merit Astounding in clean, genuine
fun and amusing comedy What they
got was sickly melodrama, abound
ing in stagnant situations and jokes
with grey whiskers, poorly writer
and execrably said. The heroine of the
play, the "silken haired Swedish girl,
was neither pretty, witty nor attrac
such a manner that if there was any
wit in her dialect it was mumbled Sc
that two-thirds of her speech was un
ineligible to her audience. Her sup
port was in line with the chief charac
ter, scarcely one speaking his lines 81
that they could be understood. The
actors may have known what the!
were talking about but certainly thu
audience didn't. The one redeemint
character in the whole show was Mas
ter George Falkner, lad of fourteen
who gives promise of genuine histrion
, ic merit and is by all odds the bes
actor in the Tillio Olson combination
I today. Other recommendations thar
the Sioux City Journal will be required
in future from companies coming this
, way.
