Something more than admiration for this rare comedienne was sounded in the hearty welcome that finally swelled into cheers. By way of novelty—for cheers for Mrs. Miske are no novelty—there was, Sirst of all, an ingenious and ainusing ble of the caveman period pulled off by marionettes sugwesting that the worst was yet to come, though we might have reasonably supposed it to have a less brutal touch than @ civ (Mfrs. Fiske’'s head could ‘never be bit by anything but ideas.) As a matter of fact, the marionette tricks would have served well enough “8 @ prologue without the added Se dete a boy and w dog itading up to the play. But after much ado about nothing ™ particular, “Wake Up, Jonathan!" got started, and as it went along proved to be @ rousing comedy, su extravagant that it took the form of fantasy at times and then again and again bordered on burlesque, yet for |, the most part caused uproarious laughter. There are no limits to satire of this kind so long as an audience is kept laughing. To be sure, it is a bit diMeuit to believe that a man would leave hit for ten years in order to get op with his “career.” But in spite of “the title given the play, Jonathan js not @ tired basiness man, and by no means even drowsy, He might be as the commercial cavye- man of these fabulous times, putting ‘hia hundred mitlion {nto the club he swings and bringing it down on the i of tis victims.

He ts a stranger in his own house, where his children turn instinctively to the kindly wayfarer who once upon a time had loved their mother, With «& sense of the greater things tn the world, she finally brings her husband back to her. Mrs. Fiske was delightful, marking every point of her role with under- standing and wit.
