A combination of Sydney Grundy's de-

fame, was the double bill presented by
the Ben Greet Players at the Belaseo

ings had been given up to performances
Of Romeo and Juliet" which had been
presented once during the preceding
week.
Ben Greet played the part of the Old
husband. His fareical scenes, as well
as the more serious ones, were well car
ried out and exceliently acted. PLAYING
opposite him was John S. Crawley. cast
as the suspicious brother, Gregory. The
part is an unpleasant one, and the an
probation of the audience was another
tribute to the ability OF the actor. Others
IN the case whose work deserve special
notice were Grace Halsey Mills, Ruth
Vivian. Charles Hopkins, and James
Hartman

OF the old French farces. George Vivian
