dred feet above the level of the Plains of
Thessaly. This lecture was. at the time
it was given. al immense favorite, and no

The Grnna-The Behmnn show.

Comedy is the predominating feature Of

gorgeously gay creation for which Mr..
Lederer is renowned. The play portion is
by Harry B. Smith, the experienced comic
opera librettist, and the music is attrib-
uted to Ludwig Englander. called the
Offenbach of New York.
When to this simple statement of fact

piece with scrupulOus care and adorned
it sumptuously, all doubt as to the artis-
tic excellence of the production should be
removed. Sam Bernard is said to have in
the role Of Klotz. the Coney Island pho

tunity of his professional career. while
his brother Dick duplicates him in the
counterpart character of Dinkelhauser,
the brewer of Newport.

The Rays in "a Hot Old Time which

are usually erratic in their careers. but
it is remarkable fact that "A Hot Old
Time" has regularly aud steadily gained
strength as its career has advanced.
The adventures of Larry Mooney. the
expressman, mistaken for a member of
parliament, TEEN with active and effectual
amusement and the situations growing out
of the mistaken identity have an element
of originality that is refreshing. There
is neither dull nor quiet moment in the
three acts. something is happening all the
time. and that something never falls to
excite laughter. The company this sea-
son is said to be stronger than ever, as
are also the specialties. 1t has been the
policy OF the management to follow up
the original success with every possible
effort and improvement, with a result that
"A Hot Old Time instead of retrograd-
ing as is usual, has gone ahead.
