Thurston, the lieutenant; Kay Leavltt, a sailer: Bert Bortrand waa cast as Ralph; Margaret Sberldon aa a grotesque Butter- cup Sylvia Brodle a likely Lllfle.

The cast and the bricks flew fast, as usual, In this hour ef riot In the Alley which fin- ished with the firemen's tableau, ns usual. Other numbers were: "Down In Our Alley," "Stop That Nolae," "In Mulberry Lnne," by Misses Sommcrs and Sheldon and the company: "Kutu, Hutu, Ku," a bit of an Oriental number, with Miss Sheldon as the chief Kuter; "Louisa Schmidt," by Miss Brodle, and "Frlde and Pet of the Lane," tbe tough number, ending in a light. The vari- ous rough bits were nlghly emphasized, and the "scratching" by Urogan and Krause- rue.ver before the ladles was none too deli- cate.
