The plotting and contemplating fur

a telephone exchange. Prettily-uniformed
girls sit around the sides and back work

pecially makes an agreeable and interest

The production is to be presented here
with the complete scenic effects that
were employed at the Casino.
The piece is said TO afford Louis Mann,
the German dialect comedian, almost I'M
limited opportunities for exciting the risi-

THE TELEPHONE GIRL TO BE HERE
THIS WEEK.
UNIQUE PLAY IN MANY RESPECTS
A Chorus Composed Entirely of Fee

for Christmas - Mason Mitchell
Heads It-Theatrical NoteAs

The merry tinke of the telephone-bell
will ring out on the Academy stage nexl
Friday and Saturday, and forty bewitch-
Ing girls will answer the hello which
comes TO them over the wires, and give
the desired number with promptness
that will cause many a man to wish that

ton" had Just such a maiden at the other
end OF the wire. Yes, the Telephone
Grip is coming to town, and she is going
to give some valuable points TO the young
ladies whose voices we sometimes here
up at central"
This merry musical production is unique
in many respects. One is that the chorus
is composed entirely Of female voices.
No one wants to see man in one of
these choruses, anyway. AS far as looks
go, the companies might as well carry
so many dummies. The girls are nice 10
look at, and as "The Telephone Girr is a
Casino production, the particular ones in
that organization will certainly present a
most comedy appearance. The Casino has
the reputation of never allowing on its
stage any woman who is not graced with
personal charms. Another departure from
the general custom is that none Of the
women wear tights in 1.-THE Telephone
Girl" Forty girls, and not a pair OF
tights among them-think of it. That, in
deed, Is departure.
The company to be seen here in the
great musical comedy is the original one,
headed by Louis Mann and Clara Lip
man. Something Of tire plot Of this laugh
provoking piece may be interesting.
The story concerns telephone girl who
discovers, through the fundamentally of
the phone, that the youth to whom she
is engaged to be married has been paying
court to a woman of the stage. The
"hello girl' contrives to be employed a.
servant by the actress, and, later on
