Not Quite Satisfactory
The Old Clothes Manwas presented
before a large audience in the Temple
theatre last Friday evening one of
the largest audience since the opening
of the play bouse While the company
received quite frequent and lively evi
dences of appreciation the fact remains
that Mr Hebert DeGuerre and his com
patriots did not present a thoroughly
satisfactory performance and were not
up to the standard of attractions we
have been seeing at the Temple The
play and performance were not of
course lacking good points and efforts
but their comedy was too utterly and
riotously boisterous too barn stormy
for touch of art or even realism while
the vintage of many of their so called
jokes was vastly uncertain

dreamed that his conception of this
man would be reflected upon the stage
