The twentieth Century Girl at HI
Academy is a Hummer.

There are two persons who ought to be
killed on sight. One is the idiot who
goes to the opera and hums through the
entire music in an annoying undertone.
The other is the inbecile who goes to the
play and in a loud voice proclaims his ac-
quaintance with all the principals, tells
how long they have been on the stage,
and how often they have done things and
played parts they never heard of. A fine
healthy specimen of the latter greatly
marred an otherwise enjoyable perform

of those racks upon which a lot of clever
people hang their specialties. It has no
plot, and is much better off without one.

good, and the chorus did remarkably good
work for a production of that kind. The
costumes were new and attractive, and ire
scenery much better than that which
usually accompanies farce comedies.
Fine EIIl at the Bon Tnn.
AT the Bon Ton this week there is an
