The olio was opened by Jack Jennings and Bob Jewell, comedians, In rang and talk, which caused ronsiderablc laughter; the Great Christie undoubtedly scoredhltu, and Mr. Collier found a role that gave him every scope for' bis quiet and unobtrusive methods of gaining laugh*. In, the iton wo are told that l>lck Crawford, modest yoiirjg hero and popular mine mana- ger. Is postcalied of a fear of fair women that amounts practically to a mania. >one of hla male friends can ever coax him to key his courage up'to tbc point of being In* troduccd to a lady, but one day Dick is caught la a shower, and, under the, awning to which he flies for rescue Is, Muriel Ma- son, one of the fairest of the fair. Result: Dlclc falls with an awful tbud, and Muriel chains up his,heart. Hut later on his part- ner, graitpicg and merciless James Maxwell, cornea to hlin with the proposition tbat he (Dlckl marry. Muriel Mason in order to save her father from ruin. Dick, hot knowing that the girl of the awning episode, Is -Muriel, refuses, and when Muriel, who thinks that Dick knoWH .who she is, hears of the refusal, Ehc accepts Maxwell out of pique. This com- £llcatioh Is a bad one for Dick, but eventually e Hnda a way out of II, and wins the lady. Mr. Collier made Dick Crawford a very like- able fellow, and (he clever lines that fell to bis' lot were made to count to their full value, George Nash, as his partner, a West- erner, who never lets any obstacle stand In the.way of bis ambition, gave a legitimately drawn bit of character acting that proved followed with a floe oi Juggling with various comedy effects, both novel and clever. A number of mechanical dcvlcca were success- fully Introduced. Ills make-up forcibly sug- gested a tramp. Flo Elliott and lieu Neff handed out f some clever comedy httn, Mr. >'etT. being a performer of unique stylo, and Miss Kiliott looked, acted nnd sang well.

Laura lying, to such an extent, tbat Bhe dnda it dldlcuK lo speak the truth under any clr- ctimslauceb.-:. When ehc, denies that, ehc has met Fred with unwarrantable frequency, Tom believes her, but'finally, whep he discover* hef lb several lies, he doubts her. This doubt is strengthened by the repoit of the detectives cmrjlo.vcd by Eve to watch M? husband arid Becky. Tom leaves her, never to return,, and she goes to her father, who, when be {earns--the cause of the separation, telegraphs to Tom that Becky is dying. This has the effect of bringing Tom to bis -wife, and upon her promise to try to speak the trntb. be takes her to his heart again. It will thus be seen that Mr. Fitch has used well worn material as a. boils of his play, not be has constructed the work with, als uairai titeverncsB.
