"She Walks in Her Sleep, " an Entertaining Farce, At Oliver For Two More Performances

An entertaining farce, capably presented and freshly mounted that hits off "She Walks In Her Sleep," the Mark Swan piece presented at the Oliver theater Saturday evening. Tho matinee on Saturday could not be produced because complications on the railroad made it impossible to get at the properties. In its place, however, a matinee performance for today ha.s been arranged and those who were disappointed Saturday will still have the- opportunity to see the ulay either this afternoon or tonight. She Walks In Her Sleep" is a pleasant surprise. Even folks who are not rigidly "institutional" eventually tire of a burlesque on tv ...rriage relation and infidelit; ven when farcically presented can easily be exhausted as a source of humor. But there is nothing of either in "She Walks In Her Sleep." Complications that are really funny are present in abundance and they lose noth SOUTH BEND MAN SHOT BY R0CKF0RD POLICEMAN Special to The !stfe Times : ROCKFORD, Dl.. Sept. 6.

ing in the presentation by the present cast. Paul Nicholson, an experienced player, well known in South Bend, is exceedingly funny in a quietly efficient ort of way. Nicholson has an air which makes his "brand" distinctive. And then there is his wife, the honest-to-goodness one, billed as Miss Norton, to offer a character portrayal as Mamie Cassidy full of comic opportuuities which she embraced as satisfactorily. An entrance or an exit was always good for at laugh, even In ono or two instances when the lines were "duds." The supporting cast is thoroughly adequate. Tho setting and mounting are refreshingly new, this particular production having been recently organized for a tour to the western coast. The company will arrive in San Francisco after a month of short stands. If you enjoy a good farce, well presented, you'll like this oneThere are two more performances today. I. S. D.
