Nobody expects II review Of the play

Lima Abarbanell plays Nvonne, and
she is ideally fitted for the role. She
possesses clear SOPRANO Voice. a

That kind hearts are more than GER

satisfaction of a capacity audience at
the Academy last evening. The medi-
um was In Old Kentucky" and the
old. familiaT play seems to have lost
nothing in charm since its last visit
here.
The present company carries a band
Of real Southern piCkaninnies, and these
scored a tremendous hit with the crust
of the audience. AS TO the play itself
the interest of course, centers around
Queen BeSs. the race horse, and the
love affair of the little mountain girl
and the young Southerner.
Mildred Johnson, as Madge, the hero
inc, played her part in a way that won
not only the heart of the SOutherner,
but of his audience as well. Miss John
sons role is difficult one, as her lines
force her to slaughter the Kings Eng

Andrew Rogers, as Layson, was good
as the young SoutherneT. The various
other roles were well played, and were
enhanced by som0-artistiC scenic effects,

stand and paddock. being especially

could attain the effect so perfectly re-

him last night will recall for many
