find plenty of hearty and healthy laugh
ter in the comedies that have worn Mr..
Gillettes name. He is now in the rtpeSt
and most successful part of his career,
both as actor and playwright and it IS
only reasonable to expect for the man
who wrote Secret Service American
play that has triumphed in both the New
and Old Worlds-that this new play will be
bright and entertaining, as well as In
every way worthy of his reputation.
The popular taste for music has made
of the coon song a fad. The doings of the
swell darby and his lady" friend have
been presented in many humorous ways,
sometimes very nearly bordering on vul-
garity, ostracising il from the homes of
the theater-goers who perhaps may have
applauded 1t at the play more for its
quaint and catchy music than for its
questionable verses.
To hear a real coon song that combines
both the peculiar fascinating music and
unsuggestive words, is rare combina-
ton. 1t is, however, true that the coon
song that enjoys that distinction has in
more instances become popular than all
the other kinds.
