and one smiles when she first appears
on the scene. laughs heartily while
she does her stuff, and she leaves the
audience with tears not of sorrow but
OF joyful glee. Miss Faulkner carries
the show with her from the beginning
to the end and does it well. After
weeks Of practice she has kept the
cast in uproars while rehearsing and
be assured that If Miss Faulkner can
make the members of the cast leave
their seriousness aside and laugh
after so many repetitions, the audience
will be hers on the 18th of April.
Closely allied with Miss Faulkner
are Messrs. J. Bernard Sheehan and
George Traynor. Mr.. Sheehan Is the
English butler with a cockney ac-
cent and an aristocratic bearing that
, makes it difficult to distinguish be-
apartment and the chap who opens
the doors and serves tea. Mr.. Shee-
han Is accustomed to this role and
lends to the background of the play
a touch Of Broadway, which is say
ing a good deal. George Traynor has
a wonderful time with the maid and
the butler. George Is the crook in
the play, third story man, veran-
da climber. But to the English but
Ter Mr.. Traynor is not exactly a gen.
tleman and to the maid he is punk,
no a pink, and she falls in love with
him. George does his part eXcep-
tionally well and wiggles out of many
a complicated situation arising from
the presence of the police and too
many other fingers in the same jewel
case. With Gorge in the show every
one knows that it's a good show. Mr.
Traynor was ready to put on the
show three weeks ago but he had to
wait for April 18th to arrive.
With Messrs. Sheehan and Traynor
in the cast Joseph p. Grenier makes
q genial trio. Joe is the police SER
geant and has q grand time putting
Bernie Sheehan through the third de-
gree and nabbing George Traynor
only to lose him again. In former
plays Mr.. Grenier was very genteel
and suave as a Partisan dressmaker,
! very solemn and affable as member
of the cloth, and now as the head OF
the police, he does a lot of damage
He scares a poor little bride, searches
the whole apartment and at the end
Of the third act, Joe,-well. you will
have to be there. Mr. Grenier has a
very large following who will want
to see him in "a Full House"
The tickets are going fast and those
who wish to see a real play had bet
ter procure their tickets soon.
