 while it may be true that an English man has nc sense of humor, that his country is the land of the fearful and malevolent pun, that a map should go with every real joke when told to one of King Edwards subjects, it must be admitted that Englishmen can and do write and compose the best musical comedies. It is said that under the head of the best of these musical '"s will undoubtedly come san Toy" the work of five of these writ ers--Edward Morton, Sidney Jones, Lionel Monck- ton, Harry Greenbank and Adrian Ross.
 In the company presenting San Toy" are Samuel Collins, George K. Fortescue, Hobart Shock, Sarony
 Lambert, Nagle Barry, Joseph Cauto, Isabel Hall, Nellie Lynch. Norah Lam-

 whole to be conducted by John Braham.

 A representative audience ought to greet MT. Drew here next Thursday
 night, when he will present at the Fly
 perion the first presentation in this city
 of his comedy drama ''The Mummy and
 the Running Bird" The star plays
 the role of scientist, married to a
 woman some years his junior. With
 out intent, and taken up with his eX-
 periments, he neglects her, though pos
 sessing real affection for her. She, in
 moment of weakness, turns to '"The
 Humming Bird" an Italian poet, who
 soothes her affections for time. She
 finally agrees to elope with him, but he
 is foiled in his runaway plan by a
 young Italian who knew him in his na-
 tive land, and recognizes him by his
 Mephisto laugh.
