The theatrical profession Is well repre-
sented in the militia of the country, and
manv an actor has seen active service in
the Cuban campaigns. When the Presi-
dent issued his first call for volunteers
II was remarkable the large proportion of
militia companies and regiments which
volunteered in bodies, but here and there
throughout the country were a few ex-
ceptions, notably among which was the
Seventh Regiment Of New York state. 1t
is against these exceptions that the satire
In Hoyt's "a Milk White Flag is direct
ed. There are evidently cases where love
of a uniform, and perhaps hope of social
advantage, were potent factors in secur-
ipg recruits for militia companies long be-
fore the war was ever thought Of. Since
"a Milk White Flag" was first written
changed conditions throughout the coun-
try. and in a state of affairs then exist
ing have caused Mr.. Hoyt to alter the
tone of his satire considerably, and to
make many changes and introduce new
hits Miss Mary Marble and John w.
Dunno are the leading people in the
company presenting the comedy this year,
and they are said to be supported by an
excellent company.

Thursday afternoon and night, at the
studio on Perry street, proved a delight
full evening Mrs. Silva was never heard
to such advantage. During the past sum
mer in New York she continued her study
in tone production and song interpreted
ton resulting in much improvement to
ltI charming voice anu Mdui4SA.
Mrs. Gugel, to those who have had the
pleasure of hearing her read, needs no in
PRODUCTION
She studied under the gifted Dion Bouci-
caut, her charm of voice and grace of
movement tells the story of hard study and
painstaking attention.
The studio offers opportunity for music
and dramatic instruction, which should be
appreciated.
\ |My Friend From India" which will be
Seen here Dec. and 6, and which has en-
joyed long and prosperous runs in New
York, Boston. Philadelphia and Chicago,
has gone far to supply the popular de
mand for something fresh and novel in the

tired of Witnessing the same stereotyped
round of plays each season. my Friend
From India is founded on novel basis.
Theosophy opens wide and fertile field
for satire, and introducing an unlucky
barber hidden within yellow bed spread,
into a wealthy pork packers family as
a member of the ancient and learned Or
der of the Yellow Robe of India" and hav-
ing MIN doomed up as the genuine article
for advance social purposes, the author
has struck popular and funny vein. In the
hands of any other writer the Theosophist
would have been held up to ridicuie until
It became painful, but Du .Souchets Theos-
ophist is never Theosophist, in fact, but
only red-headed barber who wants to
Nrow off the disguise. It's plot is simple,
but entertaining.
