throughout the past year was under
the care of DR.. Milton II. Prospect, of

THE ELLEFORDS


1.-THE Plunger" by the Ellefords at
the Orphelm last evening proved to be
a rapid-fre sensation from the first
crack of humor, through every imgin-
able variation of tragedy and comedy to
the wind up when heroic arms encircled
the beauty of the play. In between
acts there was not even an opportunity
of wishing for the fastening of the
next scene for the little Osborn wonders
i'm new costumes and songs and dances
and jolly Erin stunts, and La Vigne,
the pictorial songster, kept the crowd
ed house clapping, gasping with plea

notice that the audience was on the
continual perpendicular.
THE Plunger" takes the cup for
surprises and the delightful sandwich
ing of laughter and anxious tension.
True Boardman as the red-headed hero
is too good to describe in ordinary
terms. The audience seemed to watch
every hole in the scenery to see Board
man enter. They wanted him and they
got him where and when he was least
expected, and so were thoroughly salts
fed. Good boy, Boardman, the women

The scenes were all forceful and

extreme.
