 BEFORE DELIGHTED AUDIENCE AT LYRIC
Homely Tale of the Cabbage Patch Is PIeasingly
 Presented.

In Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patchs Miss Cecil Spooner has chos- en what is beyond doubt one of the most pleasing comedies of the Ameri- can stage for Christmas week. The opening performance last evening was well attended and was the cause of continuous laughter from the moment that the curtain rolled up on the first act until it was lowered upon the third. The story is well known to everyone and is a delight to children as well as elderly folk. The alto gether Iovable character of Mrs Wiggs is being ably given by Mary Gibbs Spooner. mother of Miss Cecil. The popular little star herself is seen in the thoroughly happily role of ''Lovey'' Mary
 Pe1 Trenton is particularly pleasing as Billy Wiggs. The comedy part of Miss Hazy is sp1endidly given by Reta ViI1ers, while Frederick Clayton is a scream as MT. Stubbins. Philip Leigh hobbies about on a wooden leg as Chris Hazy, Miss Beulah Monroe is Mrs. Eichorn and Miss Louise Gill chreest, Mrs. Schultz, the gossip loving neighbors of the Cabbage patch. Miss Murial Valentine is the charming Miss Lucy and Robert Lawrence, Mr. Bob Bedding, Charles M. Hinton, MT. wiggs and Darrell Vinton, Hunker- dunkus Jones, George Kelley is the deputy sheriff and Robert Crawford the postman, and Russell Bingham Deacon Bagby.
 A number of children took part, do- ing exceptionally well at the opening performance. They were Irene Dow ney, Marion Melrose, Lily Downey, Raymond Kelley, Eddie Downey and Irene Dee.
 The show is certain to prove great drawing card during the week.
