This certainly speaks eloquently
for the Harrison Theatre Co. Wed-
nesday night the tent was packed
to witness a play written by Charles
Harrison, the manage!*, entitled
"Mr. John Graham.” Mr. Harrison's
role was "Mr. John Graham." The
concensus of opinion is that this
play gave more genuine satisfac-
tion than any of the many good
ones heretofore rendered. Harri-
son as an old man is certainly a
peach, as his conception of the
role was perfect, and he brought
fourth roars Of laughter. There
were those in the audience who
would like to have meted out
severe punishment to Guy E. Me-
l v>nald who represented the scheme
ing scoundrel in the play, as he
made this role appear*-ve»fy real-
istic. He is a smooth artist, in
his line. Charles Harrison is not
only a successful manager, hut al-
so a writer of playsof great merit*
and also a pleasant, genial, whole-
