These favorite comedians have corralled about all the available talent on the mar ket, and E. D. Stair, who directs the for tunes of the organization has given the new piece a scenic dress. which. it is promised will surpass anything ever carried entour. In short, the policy of this successful di- rector to give a great deal for as httle as possible has been most profusely carried out in this years fun feast.

 The Packard company is recognized as being the only operatic organization in the south this season that adhere strictly to the original scores of the operas in its rep ertoire. It has gained reputation second to none through the ability of the members of the company to artistically cope with the most difficult music and whether in Said Pasha," or the Bohemian Girl' to be able to give a good account of themselves and win the much coveted praise of music low CTS as well as those who go to the opera merely to enjoy the antics of the comed- ians.

always yields a ready pen, and many are the social fads that have been scorched un- der the whitening sarcasm of his plays. In "A Texas Steer'' he has chosen to hold up Ito the light of day a few of the things which are almost of daily occurance in the national capitol. He has taken for his cen tral figure newly elected congressman launched unwlllingly into the swift cur rent of Washington life. Around him he has grouped the interruptions politicians of all classes, the knowing lobbyists and insati- able officeseekers. Such an assemblage does not promise much fun at first glance but handled as Hoyt has done 1t, these indvid- uals are made to participate in innumerable screamingly funny incidents, while the whole book teens with bright lines and witty dialogue. Katie Putnam has been specially engaged for the charming role of Bossy, the little western girl who takes the capitol by her ingenuousness and glrlish naturalness. James R.
