The Bennett Moulton company that has
been playing at Chandler Music hall the
last three nights makes good its claim Of
being better than ever before. Its dramas
are thrilling enough to hold the interest
of perspiring spectators on a hot summer
night, and the actors have a good many
redeeming qualities-in fact, it is not too
much to say that they are rather above
the average stock company grade of this
histrionic talent. The plays given were
"The College GIRL" "Tbe Belle of Vir-
ginia" and "When the Bell Tolls" The
specialties were uncommonly bearable,
and the Great Robetta was certainly a
great slack-wire and bounding-rope art
ist. The coIored joker had fascinating
flicker Of the eyelids, which seemed to be
run by clock work and was not the least
funny thing about his stunt. The com
pany will play a return engagement here
July 15, 16 and II.
