this privilege is about equally divided.
Senators and representatives who

Senator CarrolltOn are two of the most
ridiculously funny ones in Shipman
Brothers expensive production of the
musical comedy, "A Hot Scotch Ma
ior,' which will play at Grand Opera
House on next Saturday afternoon ana
night. Judge Quakely is a stout, heal
thy old party who has never known a
sick day in his life. but who is always
convinced that he has some ailment,
for which he is continually doctoring.
Senator Carrollton. is just the opposite
he is thin old party who never
gives a thought to his health. The
Judge has a daughter, and the senator
a son, both of whom have been engaged
since childhood by their fathers-but
the young people have ideas Of their
own, they do not intend to marry each
other, but just how they escape doing
so is told in the laughable series of
incidents and situations that go to
make up the most genuinely American
of comedies. "A Hot Scotch Major"
Charles II. Yale offers an original, as
well as moved effect in this years pro-
duction of the now aptly termed Ever

'gThe Dance to the Moon and is with
out doubt the daintiest and most eff
fective arrangement of ballet, sumpt-
uous costuming, brilliant scenic sur
roundings and pretty music yet pre-
sented. The idea which is absolutely
new in conception is OF European orr
gin. the apparatus for producing the
light effects being specially imported
by Manager Yale, as we're the models
for the scene. the designs for the cos

kind of success and it is generally con.
