Ttie revival of 'OtirFlat. the

ajjo;f:fca' Ueea-a notable
one mas-
much as the
success achieved by
the.plav, has more than been dupli
cated in cities 'where it was pre
sented4 by the original company. To
the tlieafresrbers who have already
seen the performance of "Our Flat"
little need be said, but to those who
are not familiar with the play, it
might be mentioned that "Our
Flat, "as the title suggests, is a
keen satire oh the things that
gen-
eraliymark the humrous side of
those who live in flats. The char
acters are concisely drawn, and
they embrace a bill collector, a the
atrical manager, a servant, a
father-in-law, a wife who is ambi
tious, dress-maker, a dramatic
author, an unsuccessful actor and
other minor characters which tend
to liven lip everything and every
body in general. Cook's comedians
will undoubtedly give a first class
presentation iu this city next Wed
nesday evening at the opera house.
The cast is an exceptionally good
one, including Anito Verno.JRussell,
Junie McCree, Lillian Bartlett.Geo.
de 'Long, Mrs. xFrancis Edgertori,
Harry Leayian, Chas. F. Gibney
and others, besides Rachael Fordf
the actress whom the critics have
signaled out as being" the rival in
beauty to Mary Mannering and
Maxine' Elliott. Special attention
has been given to the scenic mount
ing of uQur Flat," and incidental
to the plot of the piece, several at
