uncle, who has designs on his estate. The uncle
is crank on the subject of bargains, and pur
chases q statue of Pandora. Billy is moved by
boyish fancy to kiss the lips of the marble,
and the statue at once comes to life. 1t tells
Billy that 5000 years ago Jupiter promised it a
day of life when anybody should kiss IL, and
she takes Billy into partnership in her efforts to
make up for all the fun she has been losing.
The efforts of the Goddess of Mischief, ably
supplemented by Billy with his strong natural
propensties turn things topsy-turvy, and there is
a general time of hilarious confusion. The
songs, dances, and funny situations are very
numerous, and the play gives an excellent op-
portunity for the talents of a remarkably good
supporting company, which includes Louis San
ford as Pandora, and Charles Burke as Josiah,
the farmer. Pandora. finds an opportunity to
frustrate the uncles designs on Billy'S prop
erty, and to contribute to the interest of the
plot in various ways before she again becomes
marble before the astonished gaze of the people
around her. A special holiday matinee will be
given tomorrow afternoon, February 23, at 2
2. Nj.
