There IS nothing broad, suggestive nor clownish about MT. Beresford's humor. It is of the dry, spontaneous kind that impeS laugh ter He does not have to strive for laugh because in the first place he sees and thoroughly understands the humor of the lines and situations with which the playwrights have provided him and feel ing the humor he finds no difficulty in making the audience see and enjoy it to the limit.
 When Harry Beresford and the New York Majestic theatre success, "The Other House." comes next Friday ever- ing. November 29, local patrons of the Jefferson theatre will have an opportunity of seeing one who Is conceded as being q leading comedienne in the person of Miss Lily Carthew.

 The last act came, and when the old. gray-haired wanderer was led in by her who used to be his wife but who now failed to recognize him, and he sank back in a chair trembling because his own daughter was afraid of him. the lit tie child down there in the orchestra be- gan to cry softly and was soon sobbing as though her heart would break It is scarcely possible that the pathos of the dramatic situation could have been clear to her.
