"Captain
Barry". The laughs John B. Hymer as the inimitable
negro King of Hell received
would measure a mile. The groundwork
of the piece is so humorous, with the
dialog gauged only for hilarity, that the
piece is undoubtedly one of the prize
comedy turns of the season. David
Walters as "The Devil" attracts and
merits special notice.
Mr. O'Hara is the striking type of the
"laughing blue eyes" Irish singing melodramatic
actor. Mr. O'Hara's face is
always smiling as well. James E. Miller (the priest) and J. P.
Sullivan (Sir John) are easily distinguishable
among the cast. The others
(excepting the prettiness of Marie Quinn)
are just there.
