Good Work At Lakewood

Contributed at our RequesD
This week will see the seasons ter
mination at Lakewood, and 1t Is with
regret we note this fact. The com
pany has performed its work with
such untiring diligence and such sat
isfactory results that we feel special
mention of appreciation should be
made at this time. 1t is unquestion-
ably the finest aggregation that Lake
wood has ever offered. Each individ-
ual has given such able support that
the finished production has been OF
unusual excellence.
Durkin is always Durkin, which
leaves little more to be said or de-
sired. for finished pieces or artistic
work. His generosity in several
times taking minor parts, permitting
his assistants to show their ability is
TO be commended. Miss West mas
done some very fine work as well as
Miss Crane, Miss Lee and Miss King,
while Mr.. Daleys representations have
been immense
Mr. Light has been an ideal leading
juvenile, with all the stability OF good
old Scotch" and the sparkle OF newly
opened champagne. Mr.. Sleight has
always shown capability, while Mr..
Green, though sometimes OF vii
famous" turn of mind, leaves US with
the impression of a charming person
atty. -
. We want to extend our thanks TO
Mr.. Durkin and the company for the
pleasure they have given US, and to Of
fer our hearty good wishes with the
hope that they will all return next
summer.
