F" YANKEE Doodle DANDY. -

An elaborate and beautiful spectacle
and an extremely facinating extrava-
ganza is that of Yankee Doodle Dan
dy," which is to be transferred from
the Boston Theatre to the Providence
Opera House next Monday evening.
1t made more than an ordinarily bril-
liant run in New York and now begins
its first regular tour of the principal
cities. The text is by Hugh Morton
and the score by Gustave Kerker, both
of whom gave the Casino its five lat
est successes. Yankee Doodle Dandy"
may be described as a torrent of hill
arious fun and comic adventures
frightened by interspersed pagentry
and picturesque ensembles, and the
whole animated by bewitching music.
Aside from the coterie Of comedians
whose representations gyrate within the
circle of grotesque. several tableaux
are disclosed that call for the highest
praise. one of these is a cake walk
refreshingly novel and entertaining.
Another interesting feature is the bal
let's, all of which are of new designs
and are gracefully executed. In cast
ing this great production the Casino
management have been fortunate. for.
included in the cast are such unques-
tionable favorites as Edna Wallace
Hopper, Thomas y. Seabrooke. Walter
Jones', Gertrude Zella, j. G. Miron,
Harold Blake. Charles Kirke and Louis
Wesley. The sale of seats commences
tomorrow morning
