TWIN BEDS"

If there is such a parsonage as a
Jewel of a maid" so often mentioned
and SO seldom seen, it is certainly
Norah in Selwyn- & Co.'S production
of Margaret Mayo's screaming farce,
Twin Beds" Certain mistresses who
have trobule with their servants may
resent this statement. while others of
dependent disposition will declare
that Norah is a jewel, particularly
after she captures the supposed burg
lar. AT any rate, the character of
Norah is boldly drawn, and superbly
played by that refreshing, natural
comedienne, Beatrice Ingram. Others
in the cast, which Selwyn & Co., are
sending here are Margaret Boland,
Jane Seymour, Marion Lord, Rowland
Vance Lee, August Aramini and J. NJ.

"HIeHT JINks."

High Jinks," the musical comedy,
which Arthur Hammerstein will pre-
sent at the Grand Opera House, Fri
day. April %, concerns itself with a
wonderful perfume that makes the
grave gay, the stupid clever, the sick
well and everybody in general, hilari-
Gus. The first scene is in DR.. Thorne's
flower garden. near Paris, the second
at a French bathing resort in the fore
noon, and the third at the same place
on moonlit evening. The action is
not monopoliZed by one or two peo-
pie, but shared by large cast, all of
who mare given funny things to do.
Nor are there any vaudeville inter
polations that favorite trick for boil
stering up musical shows that have
not enough life in their legitimate
makeup to form an evenings enter
tainment. They are not needed in
High Jinks." There is a merry
enough story in the plot, and the
musical numbers that fall naturally
in with the. action furnish plenty of
variation of the tuneful sort. A
stolen kiss, wives pursuing husbands,
and comic Frenchman, wild for a
duel are among the factors that com
plicate the plot. a handsomely gowned
chorus of singing and dancing girls
add zest to the festivities.

McIntire and Heath With
Excellent Company Score
Big Success.

With the largest chorus that has
been on the local stage this season Nc
Intire and Heath's production of 1.-THE
Ham Tree" scored a great hit last
night at the Grand Opera House.
The house was crowded to welcome
the two old time black face comedians
on their first visit to Fairmont. While
the show Is a revival of the old pro-
duction which scored such a great sue
cess few years ago, still 1t has lost
none of its old time ginger and In
every city of the country it has play
ed before crowded houses.
The chorus was a splendid working
body of boys and girls and while their
voices were not in the best OF shape
as the result of making too many one
night stands and long jumps. still they
made up for this lack in the way they
produced the excellent dance num-
bers throughout the entire program.
OF course the comedians were the
chief attraction, and they kept the
audience in an uproar from start to
finish with their lines of comedy and
jokes Jim McIntire, as Alexander Of

rather sprightly actions, in the first

The costumes, scenery and electr1-

and really better than could be ex-
pected this late in the season, after
several months wear and tear on the
road.
