The one notable thing in the perform
ance was the excellent work Of Mr.. Frank
Labor. a comic opera comedian from
whom great things may be expected as
soon as he is properly placed. II is not
exaggeration 10 say that he, with his
wonderful facial expression. his instinct
for comedy. his rollicl1ing and masterful
way OF singing a song, was the whole
show. When he was on the stage the
piece frightened up and was really inter
esting and laughable; when he was away
the piece lapsed into dullness and medi-
ocrity
AS the play is it is an excellent vehicle
for the one-night stands where il does not
have 20 stand comparison with the best
The truth Is that the standard for this
sort or show has gone so high that there
Is little room for these distinctly second
class shows, and even the work of so
superlative comedian as Frank Lalor
cannot convince the people in the audi
ence that they are getting the worth Of
their money Coming Thro the Rye"
Is not the sort OF a show that Washing
ton is yearning for.
