namely, seven hundred nights, while in
New York City il was presented for three
hundred consecutive performances. In
this city, on both of its previous visits,
the play was warmly received and en-
dorsed by the many who witnessed the
production. That the comedy itself pos
sesses the necessary elements that are
essential to popular success has been
demonstrated by the continued hold upon
the public favor which it enjoys Origi-
nality. catchy music, witty and humorous
dialogue, amusing comedy. pretty faces.
handsome costumes, neat dances, and
elaborate and picturesque scenery are
each and all entitled to their respective
share of credit for the result. according
TO the press agent.
But over and above all these was the
master hand that produced and directed
the play-that OF Augustin Daily. His
vast experience, his knowledge of the pub
lie wants, his mate refinement and artis-
tic sense and appreciation of all that is
beautiful, enabled him to perceive that
which is catchy and sparkling without be-
ing vulgar, laughable and humorous with
out being coarse, bright and witty with
out being risque, and keen sense of
eXtravagant comedy without having
shadow of suggestion.
1t was this wonderful and artistic rer-
ception that gave him the ability to pro-
duce in "A Runaway Girl the most de-
lightful and refined musical comedy that
had been seen for years. The comedy
was one of the last productions of the
late manager. and viii remain for years
as fitting reminder OF his genius 1t
is said that the company which will ap
pear in the present production is fully
up to the DAILY standard and in every
way the equal of its predecessors.
