The 'humor of the sit­ uation creates a good many laughs. All the parts were particularly well taken. The leading role was por­ trayed by Mr. W. C. Davis, as Ponti- fex, while Miss Elsie Knight as the maid and Mr. Herman Gower as the mgnservent, also had heavy parts, although it is hard to single out any one- in particular, as all took their p'arts exceedingly well. Between the acts the Gloom Chasers orchestra provided fine music. The players have invitations to put their play oi$.in several different places.
