A large audience welcomed the ladlcroas comedy. The scenery Is new. as well as tbe eostnmes, and the comedy Is Improved greatly. In fact, the "Flats" Is again the show It waa when It was In Its halcyon days. Billy Barry makes a good Tim McPaddea. His brogue Ib rtrj broad, he sings In a popular fashion, and nothing more can be desired from bis work. Clark Oandy, as Baungartner, causes plenty of laughter; Qussle Nelson, as Mary Ellen, la a clever contributor of songa and dances; Terrcnce McSwatt bai a good deal to do, and Carl Anderson, who assumes that role, pro- vokes much laughter, and Joe Deming, as tbe policeman. Is all that could be desired. Mary Baker's beauty and personal magnetism fit her for on Ideal portrayal of Oeraidlne Mur- phy, and her delineation of the character Is marked by orlglaallty and artistic concep- tion. The most of the real fun Is brought out by the Speck Brothers, as Alex and George, "The Yellow Kids," who are Indeed funny, their very appearance forcing laughs. The "Flats" Is made more striking by the group of ladles that appears with the farce. They have proved tbemselvea good singers and dancers, while their drills and marches are of the highest order. The piece was pro- duced under the direction of W. L. Heckert, while the ensembles were arranged by U. T. McConnell. The company Is under tbe man- agement of Thomas It, Henry. Manaobb W. B. Milleb writes; "Last week was the closing week of tbe Excelsior Carnival Co., and It has been a prosperous season with UB, the management harfng booked return dates for next season all along the line.

Lauba a. McnpHT made her professional debut as Mrs. Muldoon, In Joseph J. Plynn's "Muldoon's Picnic" Co., at Westwood Park, week of Aug. 28, and played the part very lucceesfully. May Walsh has been transferred from tbe Oabrlel "Buster Brown" Co., to the "Semi- nary Girl" Co., to play the title role. She opened at Richmond, Vs., Aug. 31, and scored a success. Albxbt Fabsl, advance for the De Pew- Ourdette Stock Co., writes: "We have been out since Aug. T, and have thus far estab- lished three new house opening records, and also total receipts for tbe same number of weeks. This company la a prime favorite In the South. We are now nearer the yellow fever district than we wish, but do not anti- cipate any serious trouble from that source. At Bomerset, Ky., we were obliged to secure health certlflcates to enable us to enter Chat- tanooga. There are few shows down In these ?artB (Georgia), nearly all evidently pre- erring to ploy In the North, or else not opening until lute." A NOTB from Manchester, N.
