She also repeated tho "Flower Song" which she gave on Wednesday evening. The drama presented on Thursday evening was "The Father's Love." Here Is tho story of the play: Herman, Impersonated Im-personated by Mr. r.evcnson. was u teacher of music. One of his pupils was named Sophia and he fell in love with her. There was parental objection, objec-tion, and an elopement and marriage followed. Later a girl was born to the couple, and they returned home io ask forgiveness and receivo tho paternal blessing. This was denied, and the father, seizing an nv, attempted to brain Herman, but. the latter wrested the weapon from his father-in-law. and hi (he struggle the father-in-law was killed.

An animated talk follows, the doctor doc-tor appears nnd Sophia Informs hi in of her life and that of Herman. Then the doctor appeals to Herman o not bre;ilr up the family and bring disgrace dis-grace upon the daughter, whom. the. doctor doc-tor informs him. Is" not dead.

Jn" the last act. Herman again appears at the doctor's home, broken In health. He Is unable lo .sleep, and says that the ghost of the man he killed haunts him.

While awaiting their arrival In the room he swallows the contents of a bottle of morphia, ami. when his story Is told and his daughter kisses him. he. falls back dead, "the father's love" carrying the secret of his relationship to Rose with him to the end. In the linal scene, the acting of Herman and of Rose is a splendid piece of work; During the four acts the company was called before lhc curtain several times, the work of the entire company being away above the avorajro.

Judging by the liberal applause accorded, the pleasure seekers present were well pleased with every act. Tom Linton and his Jungle Girls, the last act on the programme.
