Altogether "The Bandid" is a well-devised
vaudeville sketch, exceptionally well
acted in all its details and adequately
mounted.
His name is William
Hilliard, and he makes a small part stand
out like the Statue of Liberty by force
of his acting.
even the "visitors" at the rear
of the orchestra left off talking shop and
paid attention. Not a person In the audience
left until the company had bowed
Its thanks and most everybody remained
to applaud long after they would ordinarily
have been in Bowling's.
There isn't anything especially novel or
original In the situation of a bandit chief
kidnapping the foster-daughter of his
enemy in order to carry out a plan of
vengeance, only to find that the girl is his
own daughter, lost fifteen years ago; but
what a gripping playlet Mr. Hawley and
hit company do make of it !
