The plece, replete as it is with excruciatingly funny situations, repeated its former success and is des- tined to have a successful two weeks' run. The brunt of the comic work fell to John W. Jess, who played the part of Larry Mooney in a way that made every one laugh in spite of himself. He was ably assisted by Dan Baker, who plays Jack Treadwell, a Yale quarterback. Tread- well, uisguised as Mooney, causes a verit- able comedy of errors to ensue and the two “Irish Dromies™ were so comical that several ladies in the audience gave evi- dence of hysterics. In the company are Frank Hayes and Anna Suits, old favor- {tes here, whose dancing is above the or- dinary. John and Bertha Gleason do a clever cake-walk and {llustrate almost every known form of dancing. The rest of the company acquitted themselves cred- ftably.
