replete with amusing sltutions which
kept he audience In laughter from the
rising of the curtain until the end of
the play. Miss Stout as Desdemona,

taxable dramatic ability seldom
found IN one Of her years. Mr..
Easyman was very ably lmpersonated
by Miss Vernette Lambert Mrs. J.N.

was most amusing and very ably put
on. Miss Batter, as Mrs. Easyman,
made a charming character and was
so very natural and self possessed
that it was only with difficulty one

Batter as Carew Carlton, was ex-
tlemely clever, and Miss Ida Batter
as Bessie Carroll was very attractive
