The Scheme Didn't Work.

That new and somewhat transparent
scheme the advertisement of much-eXplolt-
ed articles out of the mouths of actors ana
actresses received a setback in one OF the
most prominent burlesque theaters in New
York the other night. From the beginning
of the performance it seemed apparent that
the lines of the two leading comedians had
been written largely for the purpose of in

of New York, and especially the housetops

elevated railways, are tiresomely Uttered
with huge ads for such a.abeS, until the
population becomes weary of looking at

advertised things flung out TO them IN such

yelled a lot of the gallery gods when one
of tie comedians alluded pointedly 10 a

Nothing daunted, the comedian gradual

When the comedians followed their bis

whole house simply rose and Kissed and the
knockabouts on the stage "piped down on
their advertising talk from then on.
