In “The Fight in the Lighthouse.” 19 minutes f.s. special set. Mr. Friebus is quite a favorite in Boston, but aside from this he made a decided hit here today. The sketch although written by an American has never been played in this country, but has had a long run in England. The scene in the interior of the lighthouse, the characters being the light keeper, his son and the young man’s sweetheart. The setting in itself has an element of novelty and the action of the piece begins almost as soon as the curtain goes up and it is full of surprises. There is a light comedy finish which relieves the tenseness of the act which is decidedly dramatic. It is one of those strong dramatic sketches which will go anywhere, and Mr. Freibus, one of the best heavy men now on the American stage, gets all there is out of it.
