A Comedy That Is Full Of comical
Situations.

"Oyer Night" the roaring comedy
that actually took Boston by storm
during the past summer and tested
the capacity of the Hackett's Theatre
and the Playhouse, New York, for
nine long months, will be the attrac-
ton at the Bennington opera house
on Monday evening, November 20.

as to the merits of the show itself.
Created for laughing purposes only,

couples, the husband of one, by acct
dent, being left ashore with the wife
of the other, while the steamboat

sque suffragist, who find themselves
in predicament which is accentu-
ated by the fact that the other PEG
pie on the boat insist on regarding
them as newly welded pair
They face a situation which be
comes more and more amusing as the
plot develops. and you wonder how
they are ever going TO straighten out
the tangle The entire affair deals
with young people and with newly
weds.
In the second and third acts the
fun grows fast and furious, and the
final windup Is very ingenious.

Itself wonderful tonic for persons
who go to the theatre for a laugh
and it is presented by a company Of
notable cleverness. and they do ex

condition was such that the surgeons
were not able TO perform. the slight
operation that was necessary. The
hand was attended to as we'll as pos
slble under the circumstances but the
patient developed a temperature and
death was probably due TO blood poi
soning.
While the young mans hand was
severely mangled by the knives of
the machine the accident was not at
the time considered at all serious.
The flesh was cut away from the left
side of the hand and the knuckle OF
the little finger was so badly smash
ed that amputation OF tho finger
would have resulted. After the acci-
dent Thomas was hurried to the of.
fee OF a physician where the hand
was temporarily dressed. Thomas
was about the street while waiting
for the o'clock train. On the way
to the hospital ne collapsed complete

mented person. In his struggles he
aggravated the injury and when he
arrived in Troy was in bad shape.
