If I go out, and leave the window open to cool it off, I come back and find that my faithful servant has been in and shut it before me allowing the mercury to regain its former position, and from that lofty eminence it smiles blandly upon me as I enter...

As "John Dumley" Mr. Strobel was excellent, and his careful rendering and excellent acting were noticeable. The character "Clarence Fitts," colored servant, was taken by Mr. Millett, who was fully up to the standard in his impersonation and whose guitar-playing was a feature of the play. Mrs. Foxton was represented by Mr. Seamans, whose appearance on the stage was the signal for applause. His make-up was in excellent taste...
