ST Ever I Case to Love- and the game
Of thst "Hsathen Chinse" brought down
the house last night, and Lydia ThOmD-
son, Beckett, Ct I'd OHBHs genus must be
happy. II they don't now know how il
is themselves" they ought to. The thss
ter was not crowded, bUE it was OmIort
ably filed, the audience for the most part
comprising the regular hlbhaeS, who are
always on hand to give 4 welcome to
whatever is really good. And Blue
Beard" Is good. The scenic effects surpsss
anything Gns season has 50 lar produced,
and the c1stumtng is As gorgeous as any
ever worn upon the stage. VIII n
Witticisms were In abundance and 20
spare; fun and madcap trOlic compelled
a continued roar of laughter, and the
local hits kept the audience on the
Ute TO keep up with the steady
hoW Of jsst and song and dance, Of quip
and crank and ground and lofty tumbnpg

CANT burlesque, il could b. seen, was tbs
old nursery tale with BiEe Beard and
FatiBsa for central figures around whom
there revolved in eVery conceivable style
Of 4" get up" in all sorEs Of splendid cos
tuning, and with u~nimsEinsDle gsits and
troupe thai is as morning 70
night, when compared with the fret with
Wnich Lydia maze her bJW TO q Memphis
audience. The story over which we ave
shuddered and Wsps in childhood as We
concentrated the possible tate Of F0tBga,
is played with historic fidelity, but inter
pOlsled by many ludlcrous scenes and
passages, having about IS much rels-
vancy to Blue Beard as that famous
gentleman 0OeE to them; some Of them, IS
That OF the game OF suchre between the
HeGGhsn Chtnee and the ferOcious Turk,
b3lng laugnEbIe IN the extreme. Abound
ing IN absurd situations, Il is all the more
lauRhsDls, and cannot fail 70 draw 3
packed and ismnsd-up house tonight.
The songs, 'If Ever 1 Cease 70 Love" and
"His Heart Nss true 20 Poll" are alone
worth the cost Of admission. Added 70
these there are 4 dozsn Others, together
with & thousand comiSalities, ali cOmbin-

can be forgotten, and that are & sure cure
for the blues OF the grummles. We know
how It il ourselves.
