I had to go to the hero, whose great
trouble in life was that he was dis

money. 1 had to tell him in the play
that l was starving, and he had to
hand me an uncounted bunch of notes,
with heroic line to the effect that

Comedian Daniels then spoke -

Many people had gathered about the

"You are right Three cheers for

Eddie Foy Immediately produced a

turning upon his heel, he fed. Daniels
invited the crowd in to have drink
The bill amounted to $12. Daniels
handed over the money he won from

"WIzARD OF or" IN ST. PAUL
Will Appear for Week at the Metro
pcIitan Opera House.

The biggest spectacular production
ever conceived and staged by an Amer
lean manager is "The Wizard of o."
which will burst upon the view of local
playgoers at the Metropolitan theater
this week in an atmosphere of maryelS
that cost bank full of money. Gorge
Gus panoramas of mystic scenes and
fairy lamentations, jovial professions of
irresistible comedians, and bright sweet
ments of light, movement and color as
the local stage has never before beheld.
With THE Wizard of Or" will arrive
sensational establishments in the mat
ter of mechanical effects and startling
transformations never dreamed about
during the shallower, leSs-informed
days of old-fashioned spectacles when
the ballet and garish scenes were the
sole scenes depended upon for success.
Nowadays electricity dominates, and
graceful youth reigns jubilantly. "The
Wizard of or which comes here direct
from a three months phenomenally
successful run at the Grand opera
house, Chicago, where the capacity of
the theater was tested at every per-
Torrance is declared to be the greatest
spectacular achievement that this
country has ever known. So conser-
vative a journal as the Chicago Inter
Ocean said: 1.-The Wizard of OF"
eclipses anything before originated on
this side of the water 1t is a gigantic
novelty, and it's success will extend
from coast to coast and from ocean
to ocean"
Amy Leslie, whose caustic pen is
usually dipped in vitriol for anything
that does not possess the merit of alb
solute superiority in the theatrical line
wrote in her critique Of 1.-THE Wizard
of OF" only the most gloWingly elo-
quent encomiums. Among other things
Miss Leslie said: 'The Wizard of OF"
is the most superbly arrayed, beauti-
fully set, and humorously played spec
-tacular burlesque ever given at any
time in Chicago"
There is always something new I'M
der the sun-that is every once in a
while. Something absolutely new on
the stage, however, is a rarity, but the
Wizard of Or possesses the merit of
absolute originality in it's comedy ele-
ment. Messrs. Montgomery and Stone,
who have the two principal comedy
roles, the Scarecrow and the Tin Wood
man, are declared by the Chicago press
to be veritable pioneers in the field
of musical comedy with representations
that have never been approached or
equalled. AS dancers, pantomimists
and eccentric comedians, Montgomery
and Stone are distinctly in a class of
their own.
The score of comedians in the new
extravaganza includes among it's bright
lights that Celtic genius of natural
