Delightful Comedy.

most deaghful and refreshing
comedy was presented at The Acauemy
last nignL when Cecii spooner In ON
yer Moroscos producuon of The
Brat. was the attraction. Mss
Spooner is an old fayorIte with the
Richmond theatre going public, and
was well appreciated by the none too
large audience mat was present al
the opening performance.
Miss pooner pays the part of 4 waif
of the streets who is picked al, by a
famous novelist for study as "a type
in a novel he Is writing. she gives an
excellent portrayal OF the character,
and Is never al a loss for some ,hing
10 say when anyone makes pert re
mark. The freshness and breezness
of her Style adds much zest TO the
play. In the last act she gives 4
dance which, while good. could have
been improved on.
The enure support is excellent.
Kirk Brown, as MacMillen Forresser
the novelist who picks her up; Marie
Dantes. as Mrs, Peu Forester, his
mother; Dorothy BeidwIn. AS Angela
Smythe, and Edna May Spooner. as
Jane de Pew, an artist, both old
friends of the family, and Earl filgley,
as Bishop Ware, are all TO be com
mended for The excellent portrayal OF
their respective characters.
OF special need of mention is Jack
Lewis in the part of Steven FORESTER,
whose acting. at all times was appre-
ciated and which in the more dramatic
parts of The plal were as good as could
be wanted. Also is Timsoh, an Amer
lean Butler. by Joe Kennedy. One
scene between him and Steve was very
diverting in its humor.
The three scenes of the play use
one setting. The drawing room of the
Forester mansion is ample for all
needs. Costumes We're all that could
be desired. Taken as n whole, it Is a
most pleasing comedy and one that is
worthy OF being seen by every one
who likes good comedy. There will
be performances. tonight and q. .cs., to-
morrow.

NEW DOG LAW WILL
MEAN A DOGS LIFE

New dog laws are being formulated
by the department of game and In
land fisheries, in an effort to curtail
the loss of sheep by farmers from the
depredations of worthless CANNES.
The annual money loss to the state
from sheep killed by dogs has been es-
timated at s43.55o. making no &C.
count for the large number OF cases
that are not reported.
The new dog law will go into effect
July l. 1919 and places a tax of 81
on all males and spayed females, and
SO on unspayed females. All dogs al
night must be muzzled. unless accom-
panied by owner. and no dog can
roam at large without a license tag
on his person. Other salient features
OF the new law force the canine to
lead dogs life" in reality Copies
of the law can be obtained by ad
dressing the Department OF Game and
Inland Fisheries. Richmond. Va.
