AN ENJOYABLE COMEDY.

Potash and Perlmutter were
enjoyed at the Greenwood Thea
ire last Friday evening by a we'll
filled house. The original New
York company presented the
comedy here and did it iii a most
pleasing manner. Harry First as
M1WrusS Perlmutter, presented
the part with a fidelity to charac-
ter that needed nothing more to
he desired, while Phil White as
Abe Potash, could hardly be bet
tered. Miss Lottie Kendall as
Ruth Goldman and Miss Maggie
Meredith as Mrs. Potash were
excellent. The other characters
were also well presented. The
play shows both the business
and social side OF the Hebrew
character and presented one great
truth-the sympathetic nature of
the Jew and his devotion to his
friends and family, Much was
presented in a most humorous
way and so presented as to bring
laughs from those who know how
to laugh, and yet there were
scenes that reached the heart of
the audience, but just before the
tear would rise in the eye a
c0mical remark or act would be
made that would drive back the
tear and prompt smile. Every
body enjoyed this excellent enter
lainment
