of Dutch maidens was also noteworthy.
 The company which appeared yes terday, Is Identical with that which played in Montgomery earlier In tho season. Gabriel was Buster, and George Ali performed as Tige. The compina- tion would be hard to better. Without the combination, large part of the et- fectiveness of the acting Of eitner would have been lost.
 One of the ablest character perform CTS In the production was Charles A. Loder, who presented the German, Au- gust Book. Loder hast the reputation or being one of the best German charac- ter actors In the country. This repu~ tation might seem to be lfttle 100 high, judging from the work of Loder in Buster Brown, but nevertheless, ms higher class than most, If little be- low others.
 Rosa Crouch and Burt Jordan were two other of the favoriteS yesterday. The former carries with her remark able personality. When she comes on the stage, there is an atmosphere or snap and. quality, which, for wanl of d better word may be termed "go." She creates confidence and lends spirit 10 the entire body of actors on tho stage. In her work there is a quality of enthusiasm which is infectious. She carries the crowd with her.
 Notwithstanding the terrific down pour of rain yesterday, the attendance at both performances was large. In most to It's capacity, and in the even- ing, although smaller than at the. mat inee, the audience occupied all but few seats in the house.

Her song was pleasing outside or It's setting, whereas most of the songs were pleasing because of their setting: Al Lamar led the male chorus In the Oio song, 'I'll be Your Honey. and he led it to advantage.
 When these adverse criticisms have been made, however, the critic turns to the rest of the performance with smile. Buster Brown" the perform langes on the stage today. Tn notnins that has appeared in Montgomery this year have there been as many clever chorus dances. tho Gladys gtrls, the nre flies. the Buster girls. There were the Bo Peep girls, the milkmaids, the Dutch maidens, and the Scotcn Fusiieers. In each of these productions, the costum- ing was perfect. Each group was dif- ferent from the others. Nlne changes ir costumes were made by one of the chorus, and a number of these changes were made in a few minutes.
 Perhaps one of the greatest triumpns of the performance, however, was the degree of skill, the completeness CT training shown in the dances and drills of the chorus. Nothing so original Tn the variety of dances has been seen before. And each dance, eacn drlll Was executed with a precision which made each most effective The fnales Of the two acts were especially good.
 The individual specialtles were on a no less high plane than those or the ehoruses. In their abandon oahe1rs, rts, scented a sketch which is not easily surpassed. The toe dancing of Rhea I,usby was also exceptional ana calieu forth prolonged applause, while the dance of George Loder with the chorus

Gabriel as "Buster Brown

Buster Brown came back to Mont gomery yesterday. He brought Tige with him. Buster and Tige entertained theatergoers at the Montgomery The atre afternoon and evening. They played pranks on grandma. pranks on papa, pranks on Susie, pranks on Gla- dys. That was their game. Buster played the pranks and Tige was his ardent supporter Buster was the joker, Tige his right bower .~.-
 True, it was known that Buster was not a mischievous little boy, and that Tige was not dog. Even the children knew that. Buster Is young man who took a day off the other day to receive his thirty-second degree in Ma sorry. Tige may be a Mason, too, for all that has been published. But though they were not the mischievous boy and the laughing dog of the car the most convincing deceptions in the world. The laugh of Tige would have deceived Outcault himself.
 Buster Brown" the performance. is one of specialties. Buster is a special ty; Tige is a speciality. The charac- ters of tke cast are specialties, the dances are specialties. Mostly, the spe- cialties are good. Here and thel e, however. the fun is little raw a nt- tie verbose without point, and contain ing too much of the rough horseplay to suit some of the more fastidious.
 As for the music, there is not any to speak of. The songs are nearly all old and secondhand. The choruses were fairly good, but of soloists, only Josephine Rellis and Al Lamar did any thing worthy of special commendation The former, as leader of the bathing chorus, sang Sweetheart Sue" and called forth prolonged applause. Her voice. while not possessing any great strength, was sweet and pure in tone.
