Lillian Russell opened her engagement

along conventional lines. and after the
problem plays, the inane comedies with

public the past few years, it is an en-
couraging sign that an audience can
laugh as did the one which enjoyed
last nights performance. From the
rise of the curtain until the finale the
house was in a gale of laughter, which
amounted to an uproar during some of
the situations. 1t was healthy laughter

his juvenile emotions against his con-

pens to require them.
