Johnny on the Spot" while making no
pretensions to serious dramatic purpose,
nevertheless suggests suppfiant quantity
of essential interest to give it distinct
hn fn rnn ca fn m 10
to lovers of wholesome entertainment. From
the very start SO much unctuous fun was
injected by Monroe and Mack that 1t was
generally regarded that the authors had ac-
tually gone beyond the limit, and yet each
successive week there has been a generous
increase in the amount of new and original
features introduced. and the efforts to still
further enhance the value of the work as
a positive relief from dull care have been
made continually. An admirable company
of recognized versatile comedians are en-
gagged to unfold the mrthful surprises. and
such special stage equipment as is absolute
ly relied upon has been provided, in order
that the whole should form an entertain
ment such as will be pleasantly remem-
bered

numbers tonight will include the following:
Aria from Meyerbeer's Les HuguenUts.

iy praised for his reproduction of the charm
OF the soft italian coloring. The costumes.

rich and remarkably effective in their ar

is asserted by the management that there
is not a single grouping or evolution n
the performance that has ever been given
before. Some of the effects, notably the
action of The Bride-Elect' march and the
odd bit by the chorus which has been
christened THE italian Cake Walk" will
be genuine surprise here. The chorus of
sixty wins its greatest triumph in this cake
walk. and strange to say. it is effected
without the singing of single note. The
company which will present The Bride
Elect is the largest comic opera organ;-
zation in America, requiring the services of
100 people in its great scenes.

most enjoyable of the many notable events
that have been given in this city under
fashionable auspices for a charitable pur-
pose. 1t is a pantomime that tells in mirth
and melody the story Of a German doll shop
in which the toys become animated sud-
denly. There are opportunities for the droll-
est comedy and for really brilliant spec
