Like all sucta mirtli producers, the company has butaslender thread of plot on which to hitch its many specialtiea and musical numbers, but plot is scarcely needed, and if the applause and laughter of an andience is :my criterion, as it surely is, "Jolly üld Chums" is a pronounced success. The company is made np of very clever peoplt' including' Miss Carrie Lamont, one of the most charmiag1 soubrettas who is most fascinating in her many ways and Miss Lillie StiUrnauas ''the new woman of the period" malies a bip hit and tipon every appearance is greeti'il uith applause. There are enough pretty girls in the play to al most make one's head whirl, and all are clever.
