Miss Helena Collier-Garrick oven a step beyond her brother along the broad read of burlesque, and if she makea Bijou seem impossible in London she at least makes her amusing. Her humor, hardly non-alcoholic at its best, naturally shocks the aristocratic Mrs, Berkshire and her chilly daught and the upshot of the badly mixed dinner party 1s that Sir Augu b England but bred in America, gives up his chance of a for the fey young lady who goes with it And so he ck to Nevada and a third act that falls into tl of burlesque, with the entire male population of Fir Tree Hill waiting to welcome him in frock coats and plug hats. But this act is redeemed by an original sce in which the ‘boss’ proposes to Nell. In an awkward moment he wicks up a chair and interrupts himself to remark, “See, I can lft it with one hand.” Then as a last resort he takes down the rod of his schoolmaster days and makes Nell behave as a girl should when the right man asks her to marry him. Incidentally, Miss Helen Hale behaves very nicely all through the play. The mine “pans out," and so does the play. So far as the story goes, ‘The Patriot” has nothing to brag about, but thanks to Collier it's a great big laughing ase in roars of laughter nonsense.
