INTERESTING PLAY
"The Two Little Waifs" Present-
ed by Good Company. .
"The Two Little Waifs" which waa wtt-
anaid by reasonably large audleneaa at
Sweeney St Coocnbs opera -bourn yester
day afternoon and tost night. Is a re
markably pood play and the company
which presented tt was aa excellent ana
"Tha Two Little Waifs" is a drama
which tells aa Interesting story - and
teaches a good pure wholesome lesson. It
does not aim to be finely artistic nor
does it review the pro bleats of life aa
Plnero does in his intricacy and subtlatv.
but "The Two LUt Waifs" will reach
and Impress a heart which would ho un-
responsive to "The Second Mrs. Tanque-
ray" or "Iris." The piece under cons feder-
ation recounts the experiences ot a good
numau wno enrougn we macni nations
of an unscrupulous man was mistrusted
by her husband. She and her two little
ones leave their beautiful home and are
thrown upon the mercies of an alas mer-
ciless great city. Their adventures tha
final explanation and tbe punishment ot
be who endeavored to wreck the peaceful
home all of them Incidents contribute
to the coristracttoa of a very entertain-
ing drama.' .
Such plays aa "Tbe Two Little Waifs
may not be adequate from an aesthetic
viewpoint hut they glorify sturdy hon-
esty without cant and plead for manli-
ness in men and womanliness In women.
Two little girls who appeared oa tha
program aa Tempest and Sunshine
achieved a distinct success by their act-
ing and their singing. Their 'Tell Me
Pretty Maiden" was received with enthu-
siasm. It waa announced last night that Rob-'
ert Man tell had cancelled his engaaement
for tomorrow and that Instead "The Two
Little Waifs"-will be retained whja IhS
Pi:tll be given at popular prices. -gThta
