While he is not billed as the head

strel, carries of the lions share OF
the honors in the Miles theater this
week. Four record audiences, Mon

Mysteries at his comical WAYS and
humorous sayings. His very appear

ity, as he struts forth. attired in tight
fitting. high-water trousers and a
stiffly-starched white cutaway. Wilson

Two clever children, Clarence
Rockefeller and Alma Sedley were
more acceptable in their department
than the average stage children. and
deserved no small measure of praise
for their work in quite a long scene
at the opening of act three. Miss
Phyllis Sherwood, as Rose, acted
prettily a part that made no severe
calls other than 10 look pretty and

Maude Turner Gordon and Miss Sal

the cast who were as competent as
their associates.
The piece is mounted with fidelity
to the locale in which the action
passes, the last act showing an es
pecially realistic setting of a huge
bank vault. Here, the audience is
given close view of Jimmy at the
tavorite pastime of his youth-safe-
opening by the sense of touch-in or
der to save the life of Roses little
sister, Kitty, who has been imprison-
ed in the vault, in play, by her
brother.
