In, “Taming An Actress”.  This act is far from being what I expected of it.  The story is by no means a new one, and was surprised to see it go as well as it did.  The story is one of two girls who are left in a very lonesome residence at night, and after Miss Caborne reads a letter from her sweetheart to her friend in regard to how he is going to tame her, they decide to go to bed.  She then tells her friend that she would not marry her sweetheart except at the point of a revolver.  They then go through the usual scene of hiding their jewels in the bed and looking under the bed for a man, and then turn out the lights, and immediately enters the burglar who makes all kinds of demands upon them, such as, Bring me cigarettes and whiskey, and then makes her sing a song which is far from demanding any applause.  He finally finishes by making her sign a marriage contract, and then takes off his mask and of course its “Tom”, Her sweetheart.  Received Two Curtain calls.  15 minutes.  Interior in 3.  Note) Miss Caborne claims she is not feeling well and that is why her performance dragged so to-day.
