County Chairman" which will be presented
at the Krug for two days, beginning with
a matinee today. evidently has no rivals
in the esteem Of the public, for its tour is
one long triumph, attested by crowded
houses. which approve with heartiest
laughter the many drolleries, well drawn

to the lovers of light comedy, and the
graphic and clever portrayal Of characters

ture, furnish a fund of merriment to the
~playgoers who appreciate clean-cut and
truthfully painted humanity.
