was the principal troublemaker at the
Bijou last night. She was also the
principal merrymaker.
The play, The Trouble Makers. q
musical comedy, passed Off without
accident, so far as has been heard,
although 1t is possible that the laughs
that were produced, precipitated by
the funny incidents. may have split
some suspendcrs and may have dislo-
Gated some iawbones. Up to date.
however, no reports of accidents nave
been received from the ambulance
surgeon.
Ward and yokes are Richmond fav-
orites. They have been annual Wis
itors here for some years. Hap
Ward started his musical and drp-
matte career in this. his old, town.
There is nothing tangible In the
! number of Intangible things such as
giggies. smiles, outlaws. sniggers and
loud open-faced laughs And these
are the things that most people 80
to theatre to indulge in.
Besides Ward and Vokes, Percy
and Harold in the play. and Lucy
DAILY. who is Mrr. Ward in private
life, there are several other funsmiths.
And there are some singers. notably
Sandy Chapman, who has tenor
voice that makes one think OF old
man Barnebee himself.
There Is nothing to the plot but
there are some musical numbers that
help to make the glad spring get
busy.
AS heretofore the show pieases. and
