Is a new sketch presented by Mr. Daniel Frohman. The play deals with a skillful lady thief who attempts to steal a diamond necklace by having the Jeweller’s messenger bring it to the office of a doctor whom she has already told that the messenger is suffering with a hallucination about a necklace. A detective captures the lady just as she is about to succeed in her scheme. Mr. Frohman ruins the play by a poor company. The woman, Helen Langford, is impossible. Mr. Peter Bassett as Detective Marston is the limit. The sketch would probably get by if a new cast was secured. Full stage twenty-two minutes.
