Devil, since it requires a man Of nerve
and athletic agility. In the first act,
Mr.. Breese has to make four distinct
changes Of costume, and each change
must be made within one minutes
time. His first entrance is rather an
exciting one. He shoots through a
trip through the stage, coming out
through the forge in the blacksmlth's
shop OF Goody Rickby. Flames are
all around him. and twice this last
week his costume wa set on fire. His
first exit Is a flying leap over an

crawls over' a hay nov. and shoots

Gararmcon Is the cable address Of

He puzzled over the cable q few min.

the original answer with him last

Another cable, OF which he did not

Wont you indicate what was In

Again the elder Griscom i~nterposcd

The younger GrIscom's eyes lighted

answer when again his father interss
posed:
"lt's not'our place.to criticlse what
