forth. In the early months of the civil war
there were quite number of boys in Jack

One day the music was crippled. The
prcposterously solemn drummer boy was
gone, and only after some time was it dis
covered that he had gone to Cairo, Ills, of
his own motion, to drum for genuine grown
up soldiers, and yet Il little longer, and his
quondam boy soldier friends heard that he
was play acting in II real theater. The i'm
perious and peremptory captain of those
youthful warriors is now the dramatic
critic of one of the principal daily journals
of Chicago, and the preposterously solemn
looking drummer boy is now one of the
best and most successful of American come

The Glove In History.

The glove has served many purposes,
such as the award of honor, token of
love, payment of service and gift of
gratitude. 1t was once also the signal
of mercy, the dropping of the royal
glove before culprit under punishment
securing instantaneous release, and
from early times it has also served as a
challenge to deadly combat. The habit
Of presenting gloves was kept up even
unto Puritan times, and finally grew in
to such an extravaganza that the legis-
lature of Massachusetts took the matter
up and forbade the lavish glove giving
under penalty of eco fine. The glove
has served an important part in the
worlds history, and many interesting
facts concerning its history could be re-
counted if space permitted. Washing

This does not sound like n very remarkab
statement, but it's significance may be I'M
derstood when it is mentioned that this is
the first occasion upon which such Il pleas
ing managerial condition has existed dur
Ing the present season in this city.
Brandon Thomas, the author of Char
ley's Aunt" calls his play comedy, but
as this is common idiosyncrasy of comic
writers for the stage he may be pardoned.
In reality it is farce pure and simple, and
very broad farce at that But it is as
funny AS can be, and it really contains more
laughs than 1.-The Private Secretary"
which up to this time was perhaps the fun
NEST farce seen in this country during the
last decade.
The plot is simplicity itself Two college
students are very much in love with two
very pretty girls, and they are longing for
an opportunity to propose One of them
Charley-has an aunt married to II rich
Brazilian, who, with the gallantry and con-
sideration common to the male residents of
that country, died quickly. leaving his
beautiful wife widow and fabulously
wealthy. This aunt Charley has never
seen. He receives n telegram informing
him that she will be there on the next
train. The two chums hit upon the happy
idea of giving dinner to the aunt, at which
they will have their sweethearts as well.
This they think may afford them the long
desired opportunity to declare them
selves" At the last moment IL message is
received from the wealthy Brazilian stating
that she has been delayed for several days
The boys are i'll pretty pickle. Their girls
have been invited, and there will he no
chaperon While they are figuratively
tearing their hair friend, Lord Babberly,
appears and puts on Il dress in which he is
to act as Il woman in private thcatrcals
Happy thought! They will get Babberly
to impersonate the aunt He does it, the
party goes on, the boys propose to their
flames, are promptly accepted, and all is
well for awhile. Lurcd by cher" supposed
wealth, two men, relatives of the college
students and their girls. propose to Bah
berly and are of course declined The real
aunt appears suddenly, but seeing how
things are going she enters into the spirit
of the joke and incidentally ca,.cs more
complications and fun. 1t is easy 10 see
how Il great deal of hilarity may be ex-
tracted from this condition.
After all, in farce the acting is of as much
Importance as the play. Lord Babberly is
practically the play of "Charley's Aunt"
and the success of the piece is almost en-
tlrely dependent upon the manner in which
that part is performed. Manager Charles
Frohman evidently realized this, for he cs-

derstudied W. S. Penlcy in the part in Eng

adot does his role well. His performance is
mastery one, and there are so many little
touches of subtlety that his work may east
ly be denominated artistic. If lie remains in
this country-and if he be wise he will--he
will soon take rank with the top notcher5
among our farceurs.

These are somewhat like our express

both letters and packages are insured

There are said to be nearly 200 of these
