Last night at the Grand Opera House the Kennedy Players made their first appeargince in farce-comedy when they presented "Robert MaCair," or the "Two Jolly Tramps," a costume comedy of the Empire period. John. Jd, ly; inthe comed role of the play, put on the "smile that didn't come offi" the faces of the audience during the first act, ' and seemed to have the power within easy reach to broaden that smile to a roar of' lnughter whenever he willed. His specialty in the third act was a novel- ly and made a decided hit.' The supporting cast were seen to ex- cell:nt advantage, especially Nellie Kennedy 'as '""Javotte," who acted the role naturally and wore some mag- nificent costumes. Royal Stout made a capital "Marquise," and J. F. Bas- nister, as the bold highwayman, "Robert MaCair," gave a most finish. ed performance, ua The specialties were again heartily received, and the graceful Flame Sisters responded to several encores after a very clever singing and danc- ing act. Winneford Greenwood's coon shouting was also very pleasing and it is only fair to state that last evening's presentation exceeded any- thing heretofore given by the com: pany during thei engagement, The company will play in Brockville to-night, and will return to Kingston to-morrow evening when they present "For Love of a Girl," and will be seen in two performances on Satur day. : - ------ ST.
