will be the attraction at the Academy OF
Music. Professor Hermann has selected
Messrs. Williams and Kelly from the first
artists Of the country to create the tltuiar
roles of the play, and has engaged COM
pany of talented comedians TO support
them. The comedy is satire on New
York hat-houses and is In three acts, funny
situations, witty dialogue, new music, ana
clever dancing being distributed through
out the piece. Mr.. Gus Williams, who has
always been favorite in German comedy
r6ieS, is said to have found in John Un-
gerblotz character that suits him TO q
nicely. Mr.. Kelly as O'Donnovan lDnes
ian Irish arlstocrat) is irresistible. and to-
gether with Mr.. Williams the comedy re-
ceives artistic handling. A natural situa-
tion leads up to Mr.. Williams's piano solos,
tor which he has received tiattering notice.
Miss florrie West. who sustains the SOU
brette r6e made her first appearance IN
America with this company IN Boston,

tiers, also from England, received fattering

formers of merit. The comedy il entirely
free from the burnt-cork or song and
dance" element.
