Eddie Foy and large supporting
company presented the famous English
musical comedy success. The Earl and
the Girl, in the auditorium last Friday
evening to an audience which filled
the theatre and caused Mr.. Fox to wear
a truly managerial smile. The perfor-
nance was thoroughly satisfactory. Mr..
Foy himself was of course the star but
his faith in his own lustrc was shown
by the fact that he was surrounded by
several satellites of no small amount
Of brightness Taking the constella.
ton all together they furnished an
evening of no little merriment. Eddie
Foy is one of the drollest comedians
on the stage, his facial expressions and
Cuisines being especially good.
When he exertcd himself Friday even
ing he had no trouble in convulsing
his audience, and at the close of his
song, In Thousand Years From Now,
in the second act he was recalled again
and again, finally responding with a
curtain speech only a rihe less funny
than the famous one of Frank Daniels.
Harry 3. Lester as Dick Wargrave was
very good and the speciality done by
him and Miss Clara Inge in the first
net WINS onp nf thn hits 0f the evening"
Frank Lavarnie in the role of A. Bun
ker Bliss was exceedingly funny and
apparently could have been funnier still
if opportunity had been given him.
Isabel Diamond made an attractive
Daisy Fallowfeld and her song, Shopp-
ing, was especially pleasing Edwin
Wilson sang extremely well but was a
bit too STACEY. The chorus seemed to
lack training.
