is fully as meritorious as that of last
week, and that is saying a great deal
for 1T. Special interest centers in the

Repertoire at the oennett.

That the North Brothers company
has taken strong hold on the fancy
of the Gennet patrons is fully eyiEc-
ed by the liberal patronage that is
being accorded. Last night a very
large audience saw the presentation
OF AN American Lady" and enjoyed
it thoroughly. There was a strong
element of comedy prevailing the play
that kept the audience in laughter
most of the time. The bill for this
afternoon is THE Parish Priest" and
for tonight Price of Honor" both
said to be of highly interesting ma
ture. There is special interest in the
matinees, which are being put on at
10 cents. Two features that add to
the performances are the half hour
concert preceding each performance,
by the lady orchestra, and the spe-
cialties that relieve the waits between
acts and which are put on by the
Deagons, Little Patti, Seldom and Mas
ter Bobby st. Clair and others. The
Norths will be at the Gennett all
week in standard productions, COM
bined with specially and concert fea-
lures.

my Wife's FamiIy"-Gennet

1t is seldom that play meets with
the universal endorsement of man
ayers, theatre-goers and the press in
general on it's initial production. but
an exception last season was that of
MY Wife's Family" the combined
efforts of two progressive and we'll
known players = Hal Stephens and
Harry Linton. This merry laugh
producer was an instantaneous hit,
playing return dates in many cities
by special request. 1t is in three acts
filled with catchy musical numbers
of original theme, while the comedy
lines are all bright and new, contain
ing none of the hackneyed kind.
The company presenting the COM
edy, interpreting the three acts OF
fun and music, is one. of the best en-
tour, while the costuming and stage
setting and electrical and mechanical
effects are correct in detail. There
are two dozen musical numbers, all
of the whistling order, to be heard in
my Wife's Family" which will be
presented here at the Gennett next
Monday night.

Look at their depredations among
