NANTUCKET AND BENJ. FRANKLIN. BY M, FOLGER COMEMAN.

(Continued from last Friday.)

"My Mother-in-Law."

Miss Ullie Akerstrom will present her new laugh-provoking comedy, "My Mother-ia- Law," on Thursday evening, in which she will appear as a German servant girl. This is a radical departure from the style of work she bas portrayed heretofore. Miss Akerstrom is a come- dienne of no mean ability, aud in this line she has a part that enables her to give full vent to her peculiar style. A German servant iu a play suggests fun. Iu "My Mother in Law" the opportunity presents itself, nud in conjunction with other clever people they make you Inugh irresistibly. The plot of the play is simply the interference of a mother. io law io an otherwise quiet family of a doctor.

The eutanglements and disturbances are numeroue. Many pleasing specialtice are interspersed in the comedy and an evening of enjoyment is guaranteed. The worry caused by all kinds of worri- ment, that worry the worried brains of the worrying worriers, will ceese their worrisome worriment when you you see the worry dispelling farce, ' My Mother- in law." Please practice repeating the above rapidly, in order to limber up your jaws that you may be prepared to langh long and loud without danger of dia- location.
