sFifty Miles From Boston.

OF all the Cohen plays that have
been seen in this city none better
pleased the theater goers of Grand
Forks than "Fifty Miles from Boston"
which was the attraction at the Met
ropolitan last evening. A splendid
house greeted the production and
many of them gave as their reason for
being so we'll pleased that IT was SO
different from what they had expected
as Cohen plays have never left any
very enthusiastic impression in this
city. Every part is we'll taken from
Harrigan and Mrs. Tilford to Sadie
and Jed and there is just enough of
the merry jingle to give it the fascin-
ating feature of musical comedy.
