the most successful musical attraction
ever presented at Days theater, in
New York, will open his second season
in this piece in New York Sept 81, and

The Runaways.
In delving for a neat epigrammatic
expression to use in describing the
new Casino production, 1.-The Runa-
ways" the writer's of dramatic hap
penlngS have hit on many that have a
gratifying sound to Managers Sam S.
Shubert and Nixon & Zimmerman.
Among the many are THE Barnum
show of the stage" ''the beauty show
of the world" Of these three the
strongest point is that neither is ex-
aggerated. 1.-THE Runaways" is truly
the "Barnum show Of the stage" in
the cost of the production and the
scenic investiture and in the beauty
and signal talent and ability of the
army of players. 1t is admitted on all
sides that it is the best looking as
semblage of stage folks ever gathered
into one crowd in a Broadway theater.
Even the theatrical costumers who had
no hand in providing the magnificent
dresses for this production concede
that sartOrially it is the prettiest and
best show ever seen

set out here and the smokers can step
out between the acts of 1.-THE Prince
of Pilsen"- and enjoy their smoke in
the open.
'The Prince of Pilsen" is proving a
popular summer attraction and the
management have put the house in
summer shape Electric fans are in
every niche and corner and the entire
ground floor has been reseated with
cane chairs.
"The Sultan of Sulu' remains at
Wallack's enjoying the same popular
ity and no date has yet been suggested
for the end Of the run.
Stage Courtships Pan Out.
Another proof that stage courtships
sometimes result in real marriages is
given in the announcement of the en-
gagement of Miss Ruth PEBBLES, the
Annette and Ivan Anderson, the Pedro
of the King Dodo7' company playing
at the StHdebaker theater. Mr. Ander-
son Joined Mr.. Savage's company when
