A Royaf Slave held the boards at
the auditorium Tuesday afternoon ana
evening, and tried in five long drawn
out acts to merit from small audiences
the applause which comes to real com
panies only. Walter IIubbell as Aguila
and Miss Ethel Eastcourt as Countess
De Ora were accurately described as
the whole show, but if the remainder
of the cast had possessed somewhat
more conception of the characters al
loted them there would have been less
cause to comment on the ability OF the
"stars.
Mrs. G. II. Smith held her first mil
linery opening this season Monday ana
Tuesday. There was large attendance
both DAYS. The two leading colors are
blue and old rose and there were sew
eral creations exhibited in which these
shades were used exclusively. The
window was especially attractive with
boughs of apple blossoms and clusters
of roses and other flowers and in the
show cases were banks of flowers taste
fully arranged. The pattern hats this
season are extremely large, many of
them measuring IS inches across.
Considerable annoyance has been
caused lately by the actions of certain
patrons of the auditorium. During the
matinee of The Royal Slave Wednes..
day afternoon the conduct of several
Young men was such that the leading
man of the company publicly called
them down and then reported them to
the management. They persisted in
talking aloud during the progress OF
the play and commenting upon the work
of the company. A group OF young
women also caused considerable dis
turbance by carrying on conversation
while the play was in progress.
