Tho piece Is at the Lyceum this week, opening there last evening with a large audience and if laughter and applausoe are any criterion of its feelings it was theroughly appreciative.

Jim Connor Like all such picces the plot s built upon extravagant lines. In this case John Stewart is a man who stands well in his mmunity and his son Bertie, who is idolized by his mother, likes the white lights and meets “Mignon,” the wife of Fred- erick Smith, a ‘perfume manufacturer, who belongs to the New York state militia, and while he is in camp she gces to a leading restaurant and makes a night of it. Bertie is her companion on this ocrasion, his father meets another woman at the same place and Percy Peters, who pretends he is ill, is also a visitor to the same restaurant for the same purps . They all meet, to the great astonish- ment of each other and to cap the climax the soldier puts in an appear- ance and there is such a mixup that the audience becomes convulsed with laughter, The play is brimful of similar scenes and taken as a whole it makes an cntertainment with one Jaugh following another from the rise until the fall of the curtain. Mr. Wright plays Stewart, Mr. Cross is Bertie and Mr. Birch, Peters, and it would be difficult to pick a flaw in their work, while Mr. Fuller Goes equally well as the manufacturer and the soldier, who is really wicked when he has on his uniform. Miss Callaway plays Mignon with much spirit, dresses in fashion and sings a catchy Song in the res- taurant. Mrs. Hibbard also dresses well and acts with dignity and has an abiding faith in her family, The re- meinder of ‘the cast does well, par- ticularly Miss Bolton. The perform- ance s one of the best glven by the company.

[For nei- | ther the play nor the acting requirc any mental effort on the part of the audience. The play comedy with a touch of melodrama, the scene laid in New Fngland and the characters yepresenting people as they are sup- posed to be. Some of the comedy reaily delightful and some of the mel- odrama really thrilling. The cc sination of the two makes a play that is good. Thy plot turns about a theft in the of Hard bhle for which the wrong man is convicted. He returns from a three-year prison sentence in the first act and is vindicadd in the st act. A new minister also ap- pears in the first act. e does not live up to the ideal minister as the people of the village consider one. In | other words, he has advanced ideas, does not believe that Jonah swallowed {the whale, does not disapprove ot dancing and pays more attention to the new than to the old testament.
