He rose, paid for his refreshment,

drive to the theater du Chatelet.
Alighting at the door, Caussidiere
strolled into the vestibuIe, and paid for

at a kiosk and bought newspaper;
then, approaching the front of one of
the great cafes, found a vacant seat at

down in the open air watching the
busy throng.

Here he found many Of the perform

center Of the floor. Dressed In tur-
ban and sultan's robes, and surround
ed by a group Of ladies in all kinds Of
scanty costumes, was the obese low
comedian-as loud voiced, low-fore-
headed a satyr of man as could be
found in the theatrical profession, even
in Paris.
AS Caussidiere appeared, the actor
greeted him by name with loud
laugh.

cried, shaking hands. "The Germans

The ladies now turned to Caussidiere,
who greeted them by their Christian
names-Blanche, Rose. Ada, Adele,
Sarah, and so on. He seemed to know

looked round impatiently for some per-

"a Milk White Flag" Hoyt's clever
satire on the "eitizen soldiery" COM
monty called the militia, will be pre-
sentGd at the Opera House in Wichita.
"a Milk White Flag" is probably the
best, as it certainly is the most preten-
tious of all Hoyt's productions. 1t has
good plot; it is really funny and leg
imately amusing; ITS satire is just yet
not too bitter; it is crowded with good
music, original and pleasing special
ties, bright dialogue, clever dancing,
and pretty marches. The brilliant
costumes of the officers and vivandiers
and the pretty faces and graceful fig
ures of tho female contingent % the
Ransome Guards, contribute materially
to the charm of the performance. For
ty people are engaged in this produc-
ton. The piece will be presented here
