A large audience at the New The
ater Sunday evening witnessed a
splendid presentation of "The Flower

pany was seen here Joe Howard the
author, and his charming wife, Mable
Barrison, were joint stars. There were
some misgiyings that the comedy had
fallen into inferior hands, While there
is no Mr.. Howard or Miss Barrison in
the cast, the parts are all taken by
competent people. and better still the
different performers, be they members
of the chorus or soioists they are not
afraid to work. The comedy as put on
Sunday evening is moving all the time
Each performer is full of ginger and
works as though they felt the respons-
ibility of the show rested on their
shoulders. When performers have
such a feeling. the entertainment is
bound to be success.

last night it realized both. The music
is especially clever and catchy, and
the work of the chorus is far above the
average. Probably no chorus ever in
