“My Pntner” is n play which
ha* unquestionably gained a great
er degree of success than any
“American dAma” seen upon the
stage for many years, and its suc
cess has been gained legitimately
primarily by the inherent qualities
of the play itself, and largely assist
ed by the admirable acting of Mr,
Aldrich and the other players to
whom iriterpreta'tion has been ,en
trusted. It is a play that is strong
and intense, and yet one that
devoid of the coarseness and
“,blood-and-thunder” quality,
the average border drama. When
it was first brought out in New
York, a year ago, it was recognized
as a production of a high order of
merit. The verdict of the New
York press, so singularly unani
mous, has been endorsed by the
critics of our own city, and by
tbbso of every other prominent
city where the piece has been play,

Friday, when be came to the' store,
he found no fire. In searching for

Peeping into the box he discovered
