AN EXCELLENT COMPANY.
The Little Minister Handled in Good
Shape Last Night.
Most of the repertoire companies
which have bomi seen In Ibis city, eilh
er bore the audience to dealh with
some heavy drama, in which the ac-
Icrs "fall down,” or with a blood aud
thunder each night, in w hich all ot the
participants are killed each night in
the first udt. After a theater-goer lias
witnessed a 'heavy piece" put oil
oy an average company one niglit they
< o not desire to rottirn again during
the week.
However, sueli Is not the ease with
the Gagnon-'Pollock Company, which
lias been playing ai the Gland this
week. lii.cti night the size of the au
dience has increased and last night
the largest house of the week v/as
present to see this excellent company
tut on "The Little Minister”
Bert Gagnon, in the title Kilo, si/s
--thlned the good reputation ho Inis
made during the ween.
Miss Pollock as Laddie Hablioe,
lamlKm her pur! well aud during oik
or two of the climaxes slie was almost
equal to Maud Adams, who mado this
pretty play famous. Miss Pollock has
made a great hit with the tbeater-
goers.
Harold Mordaunt. the star of the
company, was seen in the ilillioult role
ot an aged man last night, which lie
handled to perfection. There arc hut
i< w better repertoire actors than tiiis
well known heavy man. It is un
derstood that the company pays out
quite a large sum weekly to retain
nim. He Is an ail round good actor
and w-11l make good with any company
Miss Marie Warfield was probably
at her host jam night when playing
in the rote of an Irish lad. She had
U e proper twist to the words ami scor
id quite a hit. She was also good as
Felice.
Miss Myrtle Hulbert, as Nannie
Webster handled that part with credit
and shared the honors of the evening.
There are several more in this com
pptiy, wliUfli Is undoubtedly the best
ib-20-30 cent attraction ever seen in
