Under Two Flags Shown At Nelson Opera House
A large audience attended the Lyceum Company's performance of Under Two Flags at the Nelson Opera House. Mamie Lorimer as Cigarette impressed with charm and dash, Clare Lawrence as Venetia was handsome and effective, while Leland Webb, W Clifford and W Calvin delivered creditable or funny supporting turns. The company’s strong dramatic moments and Cigarette’s death scene drew particular notice. The program announced Merchant of Venice for the evening, promising a rare chance to see legitimate drama.
