from the explanations.
The members of the company were aptly
cast and acquitted themselves most credit
ably. Mr.. Standing has the role Of Num-
bleford, which gave him opportunity 20 dls-
play his ability in comedy and character
work. George CASTOR was most con-
genialy cast as Christopher Blizzard, and
