When Smith Came Home.

when Smith Came llumr' which
is I" Tr presented at the opera house
on Thursday. February l3, probably
has more funny characters in it than
any farce ever writrcn. There is the
innocent but cXcitablc man who has
been cntrapprd into becoming one Of
a band of Anarchists, and who labors
under the dcluSion that everyone is
an agent from them bent on accom-
fishing his death. Then there is the
man VIII" writes tracts anl never
takes anything alroholic--but who is
discovered in a most amusing state
OF intnXication. There is an ANA
trur detective who pines TO outrival
sherlock Holmes. and who goes about
tracing unknown crimes to the doors
OF nnSuSpcctlng persons. Then there
is the butler and his wife. and Il pref
~ little trained nurse WHO get them
selves and everyone else involved in
the most extraordinary prcdicaments
not to mention several minor char
actrrs who add their share TO the fun
making. 1t is real farce with real
laughter and real enjoyment.
