IN THE PLAY HOUSES. Hotel Topsy Turvy. Great New York successes, minus great New York casts, are not soul stlrrlng successes In Scranton, This truism had added dignity lent to It by the reception accorded "Hotel Topsy Turvy" nt the Lyceum Hst night. It may be that Scranton Is too provincial to enjoy the humor hurled at u In "Hotel Topsy Turvy," but whatever the reason, tho audience didn't enjoy it. To their credit let this bo said. If one could get a fair Idea of what all the action nnd action on top of action was about It wouldn't he so bad, but without a diagram or a sign board of any kind to guide you "Hotel Topsy Turvy" was not exactly a loy forever. And then the company! It must have ben the weather. At any rate let's bo as charitable as we can. and ear nestly hope they will not lose Eddie Foy. There Is some pretty music which was acceptably rendered last night and the frrco was staged admirably. "A Lady of Quality."
