The Greatest Hit Of the seasOn-A.
h Whitney the Star Of the Com
pany-The Music Was Bright
and Catchy-Much Talent
Displayed by All.

The "Fall Guy was played at the
Opera House Tuesday night. This
was one Of the best entertainments
OF local talent that was ever presented
to a Mexico audience, and ID was Wit
messed by a large and appreclative
crowd. The house was filed to its
seating capacity, and every one who
saw the "Fall Guy" pronounce 1t a
most elaborate success.
Every character In the play showed
that they had wasted no time In The
preparation Of their part. and that the
pain and unceaslng energy displayed
by Mr.. and Mrs. DarnahyAn their sf-
fort to train each one had been taken
full advantage Of. The wit and
humor displayed by Mr.. Whitney, who
was the star Of the company, shows
that he is a comedian OF rare ability
and he made quite a chit with the
audiance
The supporting casts contained the
real musical and dramatic talent Of
Mexico and in the parts Of Peggy,
miss Marguerite Clark Kid Corbett,
tMr. Harrison Brown displayed much
talent.
Miss Ella Threlkeld with her Polly
Song was one Of the big features Of the
shows and her voice and dramatic
talent will some day make famous If
she only choose to take up this work.
my Dear Old Mexico, = Sung by Clip
Woodward, and John Barclay, Clyde
Fox, Willie Lewis, Pearl Saunders and
Floyd Blatner, was well rendered.
Clip, the leader Of. the song, has q
splendid voice, and the talent display
ed BY each Of these is most encourage
ing.
Miss Marguerite CLARK won much
applause by her clever singing "Down
on the Isle Of Pine"
Pearle Hamilton. as Mt, Marsh and
Everett Holland as Mr.. Strong had
parts suited to their talents, and Miss
Walker Displayed much interest by
her clever acting.
"Down in Germantown by Miss
Aliene Cauthorn assisted by q number
Of Holland Dancers, dance and sung
with vim to would do credit to the
professional attraction.
Tine music written BY Mrs. Darnaby
(Anne Saunders) was as bright and
catchy as was ever heard In a Comic
Opera in Mexico, and her efforts en-
sures a credltable offering,
Each aud every one in the enter
tainment deserves special mention
but space and time forbids
it to say that when Mexico
talent undertakes TO present a play,
they put In all they haze and the pa
irons have never yet been dlsappoint-
ed. The roasts were crisp and TO the
point, displaying much thought and
pain, never lacking the proper ele-
ments to make them amusing.
