The play as presented went with a
w-hoop and aroused the enthusiasm of
the audience throughout. The verdict
of the crowd Monday and last night
is that this is the best repertoire
company which has plaved here this
season.
The same company will present an
wngiuui production of "The Devil" at I
ine matinee performance todav. The
play is not the Savage version 'of the
piece, but is said to be on somewhat
similar lines. The bill for tonight will
be a bright comedy production "A
Runawey Match," which is one of
the best in the repertoire. On Friday
night the same company will present
what it regards as its best bill,
Camille."
