With these depar- ttIres they accomplished a decided sue cess. The Lyric theatre, where < I1lee- triicty' was produced last evening, was filled with relatives and friends of the young people to whom the splendid and really finished acting of the cast, considering that this was their first public appearance, was a revelation. The choice of comedy, with it's mod era costumes ,was a clever one is it put no strain upon the audience but kept it in a continually happy mood with the many opportunities for laugh ter which it afforded
