"Sweet Clover, which is always po- pular here, was presented'\at the Grand Opera House last evening by a company headed by Miss Edna Robb and Mr. Otis B. Thayer, the latter very well known as a chanacter come- dian. While the play itself always attracts theatre-goers on account of the light comedy, the tender love "story and theipleasant atmosphere; the company under the management of Mr. A. A.'.Thayer give a thorough- - ly capable performance. Miss Edna Robb, as Lois Halcombe, in the light- er_ parts acted with a great deal of naivete, while she showed -consider-' able emotional power in 'the more? dramatic scenes. Sweet Clover,is very handsomely staged, a particu- larly effective scene being the tab- leaux party in the /home of Mrs. Em- met, while the ladies costumes are very striking.
