V 8 Centre si reel FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1901 THEATRICAL. The Yale and Ellis Company's "The Evil Eye" opened what promises to be a most successful week's engagement at the Lyceum theater.last evening—play ing to one of the largest houses of the Lyceum's season thus far. "The Evil Eye" is a trick spectacal in the truest senso of the word, and is totally devoid of any plot or story. The play deals with one, "Evil Eye," who is supposed to be possessed of a strange power over others. In "Nid" and "Nod," however, the two sons of a mountebank, he finds his match, and he is foiled at every turn, his strange power availing him little in tho end. The antics of ~N irt" and "Nod" are truly wonderful. The parts are interpreted by the Brothers Ken nard, gymnasts of considerable reputa tion. The singing of May inn Mayo is one of the most pleasing features of the entire show. —Buffalo Review, Novem ber 19, 1901.
