comedy as this 1t is to be hoped that
1t may soon come this way.
The scene of the play is laid first in
the London chambers of an English
barrister and afterward in the villa OF
Lady Belsize at Lake Geneva in
Switzerland. In the first scene the plan
is Matched and in the second carried
out to it's delightful conclusion.
John Travers, the barrister and god
father to Kitty Silverton, Is beset by
the woes of both his ward and his
friend, Sir Reginald Belsize. Kitty Is
penniless and has come to him for ad-
vice. Half jokingly she suggests that
he find her husband, Sir Reginald IS
suffering from the stipulation of his
uncle's will that he must be married
| before certain date "to some person
not a Peruvian widow" The wise old
uncle knew that his hair-brained
| nephew was in the tolls of a certain
Nine. de Semiano and that nothing
short of poverty could rescue him.
AS there was nothing especially OBJ
jectionable in the marriage the barris-
ter endeavors by marrying Kitty to
the baronet "for a short time" to cir
cumvent the will and at the same time
to provide Kitty with fortune. A Sec
ond legal subterfuge, clever as the first,
is to separate the couple and leave the
lovers free to marry and enjoy the
uncle's fortune together.
The conclusion is delightfully."- humor-
Gus. Miss Kitty, after thinking over
the situation in the solitude of her
Geneva villa for a year, decides that
it is much nicer to be married than di-
vorced, and when her husband comes
with the two other principals in the
game she leads the young man to make
love to her and one is not surprised
that this ends in an affection recipro-
Gated by the lady.
Miss Florence Gear infuses so much
of youthful charm into the character of
the wife "de CONVEYANCE" that 1T would
be impossible for the young baronet to
do otherwist than capitulate at discre-
ton. In fact, Miss Gear is a delight
full actress, with all the qualifications
of a comedy star-good looks, a pleas
ant speaking voice, a stunning figure
and, what is now a final test of an
actress, she has good toilettes and
knows how to wear them.
One rarely sees such harmoniously
good work in so small a company as
this. There are only six and each ranks
high.
Harry b. Roche as Sir Reginald pre-
sents an Englishman who is not of the
cartoon type, a likeable, absentminded
fellow. Franklin Hall as the kindly
solicitor shows what careful stage
training can do. Miss Elsie Baird is
the Peruvian widow, enticing and deter
mined. Even the work of the two SER
wants, G.. Milo Beldon and Miss Hazel
X. Chapple, might easily have marred
an artistic performance by overdone
comedy situations but these players
seemed imbued with the right concep-
tions of comedy.

and affords very funny series of epi-
sodes. c. V. Daintre plays an exag-
gerated English doctor in the proper
stage fashion, and Edmund Murphy is
good as the young lover, Ned Heming-
way.
OF the women, Miss Rollas- Bailey
does best, though her role, that of
Mrs. Fuller is small; she is an actress
of parts and she puts much into the
small opportunity Miss Dorset is
scarcely breezy enough in voice and
manner for the girl from the west,
Harriet Sterling, and could get more
out of 1t If she threw in a little mora
sangfroid and abandon. Betty JON
son as Dorothy, the young GIRL looks
about 16, and is as pretty as she is
fetching. She hasn't much acting to
do, but manages that well. Katherine
Bond is the wife of the Fuller who
goes to war in fiction, but to Jail in
reality and she plays it with much art.
So that, while one may add that
more ginger would make the farce go
even better, still one must remember
that that will doubtless come as the
players become the more familiar with
the situations. and in the main the
audiences yesterday were so we'll
pleased and sent into such gales of
laughter that often the speeches from
the stage could not be heard over the
footlights.
The company will give a special
matinee Thanksgiving day.

RAISE MAIL ISSUE
WITH CANADIANS
Bv Associated Press.

Bv Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-The post
Office department will be guided by
congressional legislation in dealing
with the issue raised by the Canadian
government in abrogating the pro-
visions Of the postal convention be-
tween the two countries relating to
second class matter, which, according
to Canada's notice, will expire May Z,
1907.
This provision permits the transmits
sion through the mails of periodical
publications which include newspapers
at the rate of one cent pound
A joint committee of the senate and
the house Of which Senator Penrose is
chairman has been engaged since Oc-
tober in taking testimony covering
the whole subject of second class mail
matter and as an outcome of the in
quiry the general expectation is that
some legislation will be enacted.
If no legislation be enacted, then the
two governments will fall back on the
international Union Postal rates when
the provision in the existing treaty ex-
pires, unless in the meantime Canada
shall come forward with a new prop
osition for the consideration of this
government
