their first stock Offering to the Washing

| Although its plot is melodramatic In
the extreme, "Snobs," at the National
Theater last night, proved as amusing
and diverting a farce as has been seen
in Washington this season. And Frank
Mcintyre, immense both in avoirdupois
and drollery. made the fun SO fast and
furious that the audience insisted upon
| a speech from him at the end of the Sec
ond act. Denying that he had any am
billions to play the melancholy Hamlet,
he promised to return to Washington in
future seasons with only clean comedies.
