Weberfe dian suocess,szfs at the Bijon this
week. 1t is an amusing burlesque,@ well
staged, capably dcted and genuinely funny.
Its music is catchy; its dialogue witty and
its girls pretty. Beyond that no. lover Of
burlesque cares to penetrate. Since Its Broad
way production that part of the bIrlesque
which was based on THE Gay Lord Quex''
has been largely eliminated. In fact Fay
fempleton's role. of Sophie Fullgally has been
cut out entirely. However, the omission was
necessary. We have never seen .Quex',s here.
and without having seen it the trayesty would
De hepelessly unfunny On the other hand,
the DurlesQue of The Royal Family which
was funny in itself, has been retained, aud
with the single exception noted no changes
OF Importance have been made in music or
dialogue.
The lines provided by the author.of Fiddle
Dee-Dee' are distinctly good. There is more
fun in the short conversation between Hor-,
man Barr and Mrs. Waldorf Mea6owbrook,
in the first act, than is usually found in an
entire burlesque; AID the whole thing has a
snap and go about it that at once puts the
audience in good humor. In speaking of a
football game Hoffman Barr tells Mrs.
+ Meadowbrook that he arrived late and was
compelled to take seat in the. peroxides,
commonly yclept, bleachers The joke is
bad at all.
Charles o. Rice and Charles Cady, who take
the parts assigned to Weber and Fields in
New York, are comedians of good ability.
They have evidently studied the methods OF
their predecessors in the roles, yet neither
has hcsitated to employ new ''business'5or to
break away from the webberfieldian methods
OF fun making on occasion. John Alden plays
Hoffman Barr; Truly Shattuck, Mrs. Meadow
brook, and Bobby North, shadrach Lescfir-
ski. Miss Shattuck has a very pleasant, al
though somewhat uncertain voice, and her
songs, Rosie, Ma Posey.H and Something
New both score pronounced hits.
One of the funniest things on tho program
is travesty on the Floradora TELL Me
Pretty Maiden sung by Rice Cady and
North and Jessie Cardowne, Phoebe Car
downie and Martha Edmonds.s~L Last night it
was encored half dozen times. One or two
of the scenes, notably the incident: Of the
doll and the episode with the dog, are too
long, and should be cut.
Incidental to the second act the musical
Johnstons play seyera, selections on the
Original" newsboys' quintette sings, and the
original newsboys' quintette sings, and the
Cardownie sisters contribute series of
dances excellently done. The chorus is good
throughout, but deserves special comment for
its work in the Rosie Posey song

Nursery Folk MT the .Mct.v

'tHumpty- Dumpty," born out of an egg into
trouble, is the leading character in the spec
tacular comedy which is amusing children and
| many grown ups as we'll at the Metropolitan.
Humpty himself is one of the pioneers of the
Notwithstanding stage. With Punch and
! Judy he bazed the way for all that has fol-
lowed. Originally he was one Of the charac-.
tiers in a pantomime; but panton,ming having
become lost art, Humpty now speaks and
to the point. With him in the present pro-
| duction are Coumbine, Pantaloon, little
Goodie Two Shoes, Tommy Tucker, Boy Blue,
the queens of the good and bad fairies, the
black dwarf and other characters familiar to
| readers of juvenile fiction.
The fun OF Humpty Dumpty is of the slap.
| stick variety. The laughs it creates are occa-s
stoned by the misfortunes of its characters
However, a little nonsense now and then may.
be made TO serve as caViare to the epicure,
ii judciously utilized, and Humpty has prob
ably been played more times than all the
other so-called Christmas 4rantomimes put
together It's annual revival in London dur
ing the holiday season is an event toward
which the youngsters of the British metropo-s
| lis lock forward with constantly recurring and
enjoyable anticipation.
The present production is neither the best
nor the worst that has been seen In Mime
apois, but it is, by all odds. the best of re
cent years. In Humpty DumDY quite as,
much depends upon the scenery aas Hponsthes
players, and in the present Instance the seen
cry is good. What is more, the players are
| competent and the costuning effective. The
final Transformation scene and the scene at
the bottom of the sea are well calculated to
amuse the children and. as that is the OBJ
vious purpose of the whole thing, the result
must be said to be satisfactory.
A number of good specialties are interpo-
lated, among them an acrobatic act by the
Brothers Rossi which is one of the best things
of the kind ever seen at the Metropolitan
Blanche Frayne, the >Columblne of the cast,
gives a Juvenile imitation that is good: and

Uncle Will. who takes the children to the

GROWING M 0RTAN ICE oF WESTERN CANADA.

sAnyreaaerSof T h 8 " our nal who has
followed, the growing Importance of vest
ern Canada will understand the timeliness
of the special attention T he JEo ur n al
to-day deyotes 20 western; Canada lands.
The time has passed when the people of
the northern states can afford to ignore
Canada. 1t was once an insignificant
country it istrue. whose small activities,
political and commercial, were so
dwarfed by the overshadowing greatness
of the United States that the people Of
this country had no interest that would
stimulate them to watch what was going
on in Canada. The absolute ignoring of
Canada in our tariff arrangements for
thirtyseven years was not so much the
expression Of hostility to Canada as 1t
was of our careless Ignorance of the coun-
try-our Indifference.
But all at once Canada seems to have
awakened and found herself famous; all at
once we of the United States appreciate
the potentialities Of the Dominion the
great future that lies before it, and are
planning to profit by that growth as much
as the Canadians themselves. The Cana
dians have, for the most part, been as ig
norant of the possibilities of their empire
as we have. Even Canadian school geog-
raphies show lit eAmore knowledge of the
Canadian west than the average ,Ameri-
can has had. If Americans have ignored
Canada, Canadians have been blind to
their own country. \,
While, all over the country, there has
been a sudden awakening to the value of
the Canadian trade and the Importance of
the Canadians as business ne1ghbors the
people of the American northwest have in
the last two or three years realized the
fertility of western Canada and its agri-
cultural possibilities, and have been on
all tours with the Canadians themselves
in taking possession of the cheap and rich
lands OF Manitoba, Assiniboia, Alberta and
Saskatchewan. The great grain crops of
Canada over 26O,OOO,O 900 bushels of wheat
alone, attracted and rivited attention to
the Canadian prairies and recalled the
oft-repeated but little credited assertion
that three-fourths of the hard wheat area
lies north of the international boundary,
The statement is now recognized not to be
an exaggeratio ion.
The term western Canada, as used by
TIL e j ourn al in this edition, means
Manitoba, Assiniboia, Saskatchewan and
Alberta. Western Ontario is not included
because it is not an agricultural country,
and Athabasca is as yet too far distant
and too little developed to be considered
IN the same category with such thoroughly
understood regions as the province and

Richard Mansfield is not celebrated for his
lively sense of hu1nor, but this serious cast
of his mind does not prevent him from occa-
sionally indulging in a bit of humor no less

to do his duty, who profoundly believed in
himself and in the work that he triedfto do,
and whose aim was to help forward enlight-a

New York Press-If ever man could rise
to the hope of practical peace between three
such self-respecting powers that would COM
mand the peace of the rest Of the world, Cecil
Rhodes was the man He was, after all, no
vulgar wealth seeker for the sake of a selfish
personal ambition. He was wounded in%repu-

he took the wound to himself and held the
flag above the firing line.

worthy misrepresentation Of the intent of his
will is that which DR.. Felix Adler seemed to
be laboring under on Sunday when he spoke.

speaking peoples for world domination" and
denounced it ''as immoral as impossible and a
delusion." The simple fact Is that Rhodes
had no such scheme. What he did aim at
was moral and intellectual approachment.

States and Germany is surely not an Eng

pose, moreover was not world domination
but the preservation of the peace of the
world That is not immoral On the con-
trary, it savors of the highest morality. Il is
not to be admitted that it is impossible, or a
delusion.
Boston Advertiser-Ten million times &c.,

not to be accepted as balancing enc drop in

what extent man who has acquired large
means through utilizing the OPPORTUNITIES

did utilize them) is to be held exempt from
