vided for the patient.
There is one thing vastly more
important than the cure of every
drunkard in the country, and that is
the cessation of Misunderstanding

drug has been discovered that will

GafeN Opera HOUSE,.

The public know by this time that any
thing produced by Hoyt & Thomas will
be well played, and IA Hole in the
Ground" which will be disclosed at the
Gaiety Opera House next week. will be
treated in their usual careful manner.
The part of the lunch counter girl is in
trusted to that charming i%ngenue, Hattie
Harvey, and she gives to the character all
the cheeky inc bold manners that the
author intended the part should have.
The play affords plenty of opportunities
for singing and dancing, and Miss Har-
vey shows to advantage in both these
specialties. Frank Lawton is playing his
original part OF the station agent, n in
Produces his wonderful whistling. The
role of the old crank is taken by Charles
Cowles, and the baseball umpire Is still
measuring distances as he drags himself
along over the railroad ties. The girls
arc pretty and vivacious, the comedians
are clever m the songs, dances and other
incidental features are all new.
