ST. PAUL--
T Fl E AT RE S

THE Chaperons," which opened a
four nights engagement at the Met
ropolitan last night, is one of the most
delightful musical comedies which has
been seen in ST. Paul during the pres
ent season. The company has lost
none Of it's attractiveness since it's visit
to st. Paul last season, at which time
it scored a decided hit here. The or
ganization has not been allowed to de-
terlorate In the interim. but comes
with most Of the old favorites in the
cast. and with practically the same
personnel as i appeared during the
company's engagement here last sea-
son. 4
The plot is of the thin and airy
kind. especially constructed for this
sort of light entertainment. A con-
servatory of trained chaperons in Paris
is first disclosed, and it's preceptress,
in the person of Miss May Boley, a
pretty and clever young girl who has
been connected for several years with
Mr.. Perley's companies, becomes a
principal figure at once in the comedy
situations. George K. Henry appears
as wealthy American. Adam Hogg,
ostensibly investigating the Paris ten

society, but really in search. of a miss
Ing seal that leaves an estate to his
niece. Later he discovers his niece,
Violet Smilax, who is most ably i'm
personated by Miss Genevieve Day, a
charming and pretty girl, whose act
ing and songs add much to the success
of the production.
While the company has many clever
people, it is not an Injustice to any of
them to say that Miss Eva Tanguay,
who appeared as Phrosia, the girl de-
tective. was the hit of the evening.
Applause greeted her whenever she
appeared upon the stage, and her
catchy little song of "Billy's Very
Good to Me-" was responded to by
more than half a dozen encores.
Miss May Boley, as Armanthe
Dedincourt, managing director Of the
English and Continental Order of
Trained Chaperons, acted and sang
well, but her work was somewhat
overshadowed by the efforts of Miss
Tanguay and Miss Day, both of whom
won the hearts of the audience as soon
as they appeared on the stage
The company as a whole is good
one, embracing not only good singers.
but good actors. The chorus is with
out doubt one of the best seen and
heard in st. Paul in long time.
"The Chaperons" is far superior to
the average run of musical comedies
seen in st. Paul this season, and the
unusually large audience last night
was more than pleased with the pro-
duction.

company, an olio of considerable merit
and two sketches comprising a number

In the cast are Mike Mcdonald, John
Cody, Dick Ferguson, Walter Kelly,
Charles Doll and Al Haynes. A large

Vincent, Clyde barrow and Edna Lewis
hold the interest of the spectators.
Kippy, comedy juggler; Mcdonald

singers and dancers; Frank Finney,
Sampson and Della, athletes, are all
good. The later couple are neat and
pleasing performers, and execute a
number of remarkable feats.
The first burlesque is entitled DAISY
Dugan's Deboo," and includes a num-
Der of songs and funny situations. The
second part, entitled 1.-THE Isle Of Din
key Doo," shows the usurpation, coro-
nation and troublesome reign of King

WHAT THE EDITORS SAY

It is reported that the Minnesota leg
islature will leave the present primary
election fraud untouched. The theory
of a primary election is to take the
nomination of candidates out of the
hands of the rings and place it in the
hands of the people. The present law
affords greater opportunities for illegit-
innate combinations than existed before
and to it many politicians owe their
seats In the legislature who could not
