Certain it is, the girls who took
part in the play without paint or

looking than many stage favorites of
today and they could best be COM

The Play.
Now a few words about the plav.
THE Heirs of Rockford" was written
by nun and the motif" of the plot
Is the inheritance of large fortune.
All of the characters in the play are
feminine except that of Everett Black
stone, Esq. who is the family lawyer
OF the Rockfords. So many girls on
the stage is somewhat bewildering to
the theater goer who has not attend
ed convent plays but Everett Black
stone doubtless felt quite comfortable
and quite heroic face them all.

And the Girls.
As for the girls. we'll they were so
numerous and so attractive that it is
pretty hard to say something about

to curtain and just how that lonely
man Blackstone Esquire escaped be-
ing made a benedict is not well ex-
planned by the playwright. Miss Juan
tta Sena and Miss Amalia Sena both
had prominent parts and executed
their task in a creditable manner. Miss
Lulu Night was a delightful Mrs.
Rockford and Eva Kitchen of Gallup
and Miss Lucia Shirk of Albuquerque,
were properly undigniffed in the parts
OF the Heavenly Twins, Venus and
Psyche (colored). The twins scored
when they talked or when they
Waltzed a St. Vitus like dance. The
other girls who contributed to the sue
