Music HALL Miss Maggie Mitchell drew
full house to Music Hall last night, as she al
ways does. The play was The Artists Dream
which, like all of Miss Mitchelps, is construct
ed with a view simply to afford her abundant
situations for the delneaton of childhood 1t
is hardly necessary to comment upon her act
ing. 1t was such as it always is, full of art
which is so perfectly concealed that it passes
for nature. The various moods of childhood,
its artless simplicity and innocence were por-
trayed with that fidelity to nature which has
made Miss Mitchell without a peer in her
speciality.
The support was only fair. Harris 10 the
part of the artist and the husband of Lofle was
not very effective, but then be had not macy
opportunities. MI. Edwin Varney was a very
good old man, and j. Edwin Young as BOBBY
lover created considerable amusement. 1t is
not necessary to speak of the rest unless to say
that Miss Alice Wyndham has poor voice and
that the chorus singing was very bad indeed.

three succeeding heats the Maine Boy showed
lamentable lack of Bottom and was led by

finely formed black horse, won the second score.

Spangler and Island Boy. Spangler easily won
ia two straight heats, though third was trot-
ted for forms sake. The score was 1928, 1923,

down for three minute horse. Island Boy
showed handsome action, and some square
though not speedy trotting
To-day there is contest for gentlemens driy-
ing horses, and a sweepstakes race. For this
last there are four entries; among them Milo
