BUSY IZZY.

BUSY Icy" is the title of the new
musical conceit which E. D. Stair has
arranged to present George Sidney in
as his Introductory to theater-gOerS in
a stellar role. Of course it is farcial
in its nature; it is replete with spec
ialty numbers, music, laughter and
pretty girls. That it will be sumptu-
ously staged and dressed goes without
saying, for Manager Stair will give it
the same kind Of launching that he
has always provided for his Ward &
Vokes presentations. All of which
means that new and formidable Or
ganizatiOn will be- found bidding for
the dollars of the theater-going, laugh
ter-loying public. George Sidney, who
will head this organization, is an unc-
tuous little comedian who has hewn
his way into the affections of those
who like to laugh by his quaint char
acterization of "1zzy" in the Ward &
Vokes offerings. The little Jew in
"The Floor Walkers" and "The Head
Walters" has cut-up with Percy and
Harold" so long that he is well known
and liked. AS associates with Sidney
will be found Annie Martell, Fred
Wyckoff, Florence Ackley, Edward
Clark, Lisle Bloodgood, Daniel Sulli-
van, Grace Dare, Frank Gibbons, Eve
lyn Granger, Will j. Hogan, Vesta Ber-
yea, Thompson & Andrews, the Jug
Cling Normans Give in number), and
fine chorus of thirty voices. This
attractive novelty will be seen at the
Grand Opera House next week. =
