lends much to the interest Of the play
and makes the audience get into the
spirit Of the production.
Miss Bryan as Gloria Quale" is
perfect. One cannot help but admire
this clever actress as she takes this
difficult part. She appear to az greater
advantage even than in former roles.
Streeter as John Storm could not be
better. His work is not overdone, but
it is well done. He is an actor of abil-
ity and the last bill has proven it.
The moving pictures are by far the
best ever seen in the theater and are
making a great hit with the audience
which is we'll entertained between
acts in this manner.
The next bill is "a Doctors Ro-
nance" To those who enjoyed Crit.
the Newsboy," it will be sufficient to
say that this is another play written
by Morrie Streeter.

One Of them weaved and stumbled
down town through the muddy fields,

direct and assist in the burial, much
