was a fair one. Washington has had

^ The features of the comedy were
Miss Renard, as "Mary, the daugh- ^ *3
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Dingbat;" Mr.
Ned Downs, who was in love with \
Mary, and Mr. Ben. Mosche, who
impersonated Tony Carponi, a street
musician. The Sextette from Lucia,
was one of the hits of the evening,
as well as the Tango, Maxlxe and
ball room dancing by Miss Renard
and Mr. O'Brien. The singing of
Mr. Ben. Mosche was much enjoyed.
While the attraction Is not worth
the prices, those attending last evening
were agreeably surprised inasmuch
as the attraction had not been
favorably received in some other
towni. - - * " ?*- -'
The chogus was weak and showed
lack of creditable voices. The Jokoa
