Augustin MacHugh's melodramatic
farce, "Offcer &C.," is a striking object
lesson in how easy a supreme success

manager really understands the popu-

one year in New York and six months
in Chicago, setting new records for
patronage of no-music play.
The piece is a happy blending of the
effective thrills of melo -drama with the
sidelights of farcical comedy. The
story is treated with originality and
told in bright and sauey dialogue. Its
principal charm lies in good healthy
comedy. honest, straight forward Melo-

ability to picture all phases of human
