The Burbank.-Nat Goodwin has not
only national reputation rs a comedian,
but continental one as well. He is moth
ing if not amusing, and there is no other
one person on the stage today in this par
ticular line of business his equal.
Confusion is successful comedy. 1t
was written for Goodwin and it is spe-
cial feature of his repertoire. Theater-
goers nowadays want to laugh. There is
enough sadness and misery on the out
side, and people want to forget these as
much us possible. There is nothing more
beneficial than heatry laugh-,it is a cure
for the blues and aids the general diges-
ton. Managers who cater to the public
must consult their tastes ii they wish to
prosper. This is evident and plain
matter of fact. Confusion is to be seen at
the Burbank. commencing tonight, by
the Daley Stock Company. 1t is said to be
II more amusing comedy than Days a
Night Off.

strated how clever they are in anything
melodrama, emotional society plays, SEN
sation-but particularly are they capable
of excellent work in comedy.
There is baby in the play and pug
dog-where did the baby come from and
VINO owns the dog?-and on these CON
sderations the fun hinges. The compl-
cations and situations are very intricate
the pug dog cause an uproar.

stage imitation, is by himself, and the
pug dog has been especially secured and
engaged for the comedy. There is one
special scene in the last act which ends
in a side-spltting scream, where the
power of hypnotism is demonstrated by
the eye.
