parts each being distinct from the
others and each proving capital am

best and this act brought into play
all Of the principals of the large cast
H. c. Marden and Carl Dubord as
father and son respectively injected
humor In large quantities into the
performance in parts two and three
One of the most elaborate parts was
the fifth of THE Haunted Mummy
and this was particularly well done
John F. Choate had one of the leads
and he was much in evidence with
his fine bass voice. The chorus worl;
in this act was beautiful and showed
to what efforts the members Of the
cast had gone to make the show q
success.
Part four was devoted to a quar-
tet made UP of Messrs. Colburn, Gro
yer, Choate and Cadwallader and the
number drew much applause.
