Grantwood Comedy
Club Makes a Hit
In Two Comedies

The Grantwood Comedy Club be-
gan its eighth season last Thurs
day evening with a double of comedy
to well-filled house at Carney Hall.
1.-THE Regeneration of Jim" was
cleverly put on, "Jim" being char
acterized by Mr.. Wellman, who, as
always, did the part, well, and greatly
pleased the audience by his humor-
GUS work. Mrs. Mcdonald, as
Marie" his wife, always popular
player, scored a success in her part,
and paul." the doctor, by DR.. J. e.
White, was we'll acted. The little
sketch was well done and well re-
ceived, and was the means of Will
ing away the first half hour of the
evening quite enjoyably.
The big part of the bill, however,
was "His Wife's Husband" an old
stage favorite, and the characters
were all well done. Mr.. Carson, as
usual, played up to his standard,
which is of the best variety. He
took the part of "Harry Brown" and
created a great deal of laughter by
his clever work. One of the best
bits of the evening was "Col. Thadeus
Crane" by Robert H. Mutt, who
never did anything better than this
part. "Milly Brown" Harry's wife
was charmingly done Mrs. Marion L.
Gray. She fitted the part admirably,
and became at once favorite. Her
acting was very natural and praise
worthy. Mrs. G. LeCato, as the
mother-in-law, made a distinct hit
and created a great deal of the fun
of the evening. Mr.. Vosburgh, as
arthur Maitland" was well-suited
to the character, and received much
applause Joseph M. Scott, as the
minister, did not have a great deal
to do, but as usual, did that little
well. "Mollie," the maid, was put
into the very capable hands of Miss
Rachel Mutt, and the part could not
have been done better. George Koch,
had character that did not demand
a great deal, and SO his talent did
not have much to demand from him.
He dressed as fashion-plate, and
was much admired by the ladies who
could not help remarking about his
fine makeup. Dorothy Crane" by
Miss Francis G. Luke, did her part
very we'll indeed, albeit it was not
one of the leading characters. One
of the best hits of the evening was
the German dialect work of Gerald
R. Thayer as Rudolph Bauer" an
inventor. He was just as funny as
could be, and received and merited
a great deal of applause. His APP
pearance on the stage was the signal
for laugh every time he came on.
No piece OF dialect woiK the Comedy
Club has ever put on was ever any
better than Mr.. Thayer's James,"
expressman, did not have a great
deal to say, but he looked like an
expressman all right. AS a whole.
the Comedy Club may felicitate itself

agreeable evening to it's patrons of
