greeted the second and last perform ance of the Elks' show. The Man From Boston" al the orpheum Sun day night. They ex pected 10 .taad them np" on this. the last appear anee of the Reed 6 Arbuckle conl- pany, and the merits of tho production, certainly deserved the S, R. O. at both performances. But the people didn't seem to see it that way, So he Bills are today thanking those wso did turn out and lend their support 10 the benefit.
 Taken apart and subjected to ther ough process of anayzatioa. The MaL From Boston could be taken upor the road and become as much Of a success as any musical comedy now touring. TO Claude Kelly. the author of the piece. the crisp and uproarious dialect, screaming situations and eli maxes that left nothing to be le. sired. Mr. Kelly certainly did him self proud and shouldn't stop at Bis bee. but take the road with the. com edy.
 The musical numbers in themselves were revelation in this respect. without detracting from the individual credit due the others. Miss Madeline Rowe was the hard consistent work CT all through the show. She contri- buted four selections, two in the first and two in the second act, Two of these were individual numbers with cut chorus backing. The others. Sweetheart Town" and T wonder If You're Lonely" were rendered with the ensemble of eighteen voices. Sweetheart Town in Act I, love ditty rendered as only Miss Rowe knows how. demanding enthusiasm encores. q Wonder If You're Lone Iy" bordered more On the classic On. der. to which Miss Rowe arose with the ease with which she has master ed the difficult classical numbers that have fallen to her lot from time to time since Bisbee has known her. Her singing was one of the distinct hits of the show.
 Mrs. j. H. McKeehan's Hello Peo- ple." was as unique as it was pretty an dby this is meant the rendition as well as the air itself. The membcrA of the ensemble grouped about with telephones in hand, appropriate re quirements to the number. one dealing with the teeph2i zchaage. Mrs. Ms Keehan. discarding for a time her ensemble robes to appear in a sou brette costume, acquitted herself ad- nirabiy, singing well and not forget tng emphasis and action.
 Could You Read My Heart, was assigned to Mrs. J. J. Harrington. and the manner in which she made the most of every note proved conclusive ly that it had been entrusted to the right party. The air was exceedingly catchy and is now one of the numbers  hummed and whistled on the streets, the aftermath of all that remains fond remembrance. Mrs. Harrington wa sin superb voice; that is sufficient for those who know her and who heard. as for the rest. it is trr-- fault for receiving the black mark Of absence.
 Then there was the pretty duet be- tween Miss Durfee and our own Bob Iii Newcomb. which greeted tke ardt ence at the initial rise of the curtain. There's Nothing in the World Like Love, Love, Love-" was it's title. Miss Durfee, coy and retreating forced Rob bie's advances and the way Bobbie followed up her lead the well tenn pered glances, smies and gestures. put Newcomb in a Beau B-umncl class all by himself, his drolery re minding one of Raymond Hitchcock at times.
 This number was soon followed by the comic hit of the whole show. Sullivan" Irish as Murphy's DIS, which was taken care of as only Wal ter Reed knows how Sullivan. that's me name" will long be remembered by those who heard it. The eneores were enthusiastic, and the piece is ooe winch promises to rival .HarrigaaF in popularity. It stirred up everybody; encouraged the chorus to extra ef- forts and even the dignified ~broilers" in the back line put in extra flour. ishes. sang louder and made it tine one notable effort It will now be Sullivan" Reed instead of Finnegan for awhile.
 Coming down to the acting. there was absolutely nothing to be desired. By ar omission in the program the name of Walter Reed, who played the part of Oliver D. Sullivan. the man from Boston. was left of the program. But it wasn't necessary for it to be there. Everybody knew Reed and it didn't take them long to get sequsint- ed with Sullivan. Supposed to be a tutor. he dressed the part with the dignity due fhe position and whleh had not beeo required fn sopie of his
