"Casey Jones" Kept Audience In Good Humor at Ellis Theatre.

Notwifthstanding the intense cold Ellis theatre had a good sized crowd Tuesday night to witness, the laughing, screaming comedy entitled “Casey Jones.” The audience was not disappointed and the comedy was one of the cleanest and most wholesome ever seen here. Especially was the comedy of Harry Love, as the lawyer of the Marks variety, worthy of mention. He is a real comedian, his acting made a decided hit and in his cane specialty and his refined monologue which accompanied it, he almost brought down the hopse. Mis Lydia Powpll, the leading lady, was also excellent in her part She combines grace, expression and, emotion admirably and would draw favorable comment on any stage. The support was happily correct and the merits of the comedy, which had a neat little plot interwoven in it were well brought out. This sparkling bit of fun will long be remembered by thpse who witnessed it.
