The play is on admirable vehicle for Fred Byers, tramp comedian, whose work is much on the order: of that of Nat Willis. . - Miss Alma Vivan, playing the pill of 1 Flo Randall, is supposed to be taken from the streets by a kind family after she has saved a baby from death. She meets the tramp after he has been an aggressor against the family and the two strive for a long time to undo the work of a plotting man who has sepa rated husband and wife. While Miss Vivian and Mr. Byers are active workers in developing the plot of the piece, they are also the chief fun-makers as they continually are found in the midst of comical situations and have many clever lines. There are also eight big song-hits and all the latest society dances, including the Tango, Argentine and Maxixe.—adv. _ Proclamation W THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA By his Excellency, Richard I.
