is reported, adds 80 per cent. to the present
tax on beer, which the association desig-

its last seasons success at the Park The open
Ing performances yesterday filled the theater and
kept everybody laughing. The company is well
chosen, the play funny and well stocked with
specialties. One of the most artistic acts of this
performance is that of Frederick Wall, who. as
Catesby Duff. tells the story of his barn-storm-
ing life, illustrating it on the piano. This little
speciality is worth half a dozen ordinary ones,
for it is unique and heard only in THE Prodigal
Father where it originated several years ago.
Mr.. Walz gets several encores at every perform
ance. Nat Wills does a tramp act that is
much better than the average turn of that
sort. He is funny from head to heels. With
u. J. Halpin as the policeman, MIR. Wills enter
tains the audience about as well as any comedian
ever seen a the Park. He is decidedly clever.
Halpin's dancing is an agreeable feature. Rose
Melville sings ard dances, and wit. Charles
Boyd takes part in an amusing speciality in the
second act. Little Irene Franklin contributes
considerably to the success OF the performance.
Lynn Weleher still heads the cast as Stanley
Dodge, the bogus African explorer, a gay old
man part which he plays admirably The Prod
igal Father remains to-day and tomorrow at
the Park. with the usual matinees. On Monday
there for three days of vaudeville.
