WHO'S YOUR FRIeNp?"
Delighted Good Audience at the Grand
Last Evening.

Harry Beresford and his capable
company delighted a fair-sized audi.
ence at the Grand last evening with
Inelr presentation of Who's Your
rrlend! comedy which has run the
gauntlet OF metropolitan criticism on
Doth sides of the Atlantic and has
made good in every instance The
piece Is now in its third year two
companies producing it In America.
while one of its clever authors is using
1t as vehicle to fame in England.
Who's Your Friend" is something
quite out OF the ordinary In the line
of comedies and 1t is as clever and
unique as IT is original. 1t at first
reminds you OF one of the homely
rural comedies featured by Sol Smith
hussel years ago. Then comes a bit
which savors of Tim Murphy I'm that
clever conception. "Old Innocence"
followed by a burlesque on the first
act of Faust Through II all runs

snare as a confidant of both parties.

lei Hake, the eccentric inventor won
immediate approval with the audience
and sustained his enviable reputation
as one of the few natural comedians"
Beresford does but little real acting.
In the first act when he Is all but
crushed by the weight of his financial
difficulties and sees but ruin staring
him in the face and menaclng the fu-
ture of his daughter. he displays his
artistic ability TO It's full extent

however. Beresford simply allows his
spontaneous humor TO flow unchecked
which, aided by the exceptionally
clever lines, assures success for the
play.
Back In the days when Beresford
played Juveniles with little Maud
Adams; and that was some moons
ago, too, he was dubbed that odd
comedian" and the title" has stuck
to him like a brother. Since then he
has played many successes, includ-
ing The Wrong Mr Wright The
Professors Love Story" The Woman
Hater' and others of equal merit and
fame.
The supporting company last even
ing was a capable one and we'll bal
anced. Deserving of special mention
was the work of II. H Sleigbt I'm the
role of Jabez Vennamy. the money
loaner Mr.. Sleight is an eastern act
or and has won considerable fame I'm
roles OF this character. He will be
remembered for his work i'm The
Earl of Pawtucket," besides his three
seasons with MI BereSford He was
also identified with Mrs Fiske and
her metropolitan productions some
seasons ago.
To make special mention of any of
the others IN the cast would necess-
tate mentioning them all. as they were
equally good in their various parts.
