The leading book OF the season this
far is "Lovey Mary" by Alice Caldwell
Hogan Rice. It's publishers refuse to give
the figures of its sale, but it is under
stood that considerably more than 100,-
600 copies have been sold. The story is
a continuation of Miss Wigs of the
Cabbage Patch" The notoriety which
has come to the section of Louisville
in which the scenes of these stories are
laid has, it is said, led to literary pill
grimage to the place ON the part of au-
thors to discover more material of the
same kind. 1t reminds one of the story
of the Turkish cobbler who went abroad
to seek his fortune. only to learn that
a large fortune was buried in his own
back yard. There are any number of
localities like the cabbage patch which
writer's might celebrate if they only did
the thing right. The life of a turnip
would be intensely interesting if proper
ly told.

Best MinstreIs Since Days of Reed.

San Francisco Examiner, Dec. 9: They
call the show at the California Haverly's
Minstrels, and they don't take the old
Haverly name in vain. l haven't seen
minstrels as good as these since the old
Bush street days of Charley Reed and
Billy Emerson-not since the days when
minstrels were minstrels. 1t was good
to be therellast night; it made fellow
feel that after all there are few things
worth living for in this SNUG 1908. 1t
was the best thing in the world that
could happen to dramatic critic.
You know really good minstrel show
puts flesh on the paid skeleton at the

with Joyous bang. He forgets that he

feel like writing personal testimo-
nial to Billy Van, telling him what the
show has done for one in whose case all
the breakfast foods have failed. Billy
Van is not the only one in the show, and
he does not own it. But the audience
belongs to him. OF course he hands the
audience around to Eddie Leonard and
few others, who treat it kindly and do
not betray his trust; and he never makes
a funny mouth that detracts from a
laugh on which brother end man may
be operating. Billy Van is as careless
and generous minstrel as was the
Charley Reed before him.
He is the LATEST man on any stage.
Halt the time he talks through yawn.
l don't believe a fire would quicken him.
And he is so foolish that he knows it,
and apologies TO- taking the laughter.
Nobody but himself would write the
songs that Billy Van sings, and his self
made jokes are burglar-proof. It's only
the way he sings and says them, way
beyond imitation, unique. He is the fun
niest OF them all, and he can't help it.
Eddie Leonard is OF the other type
the Emerson type, graceful, vocal and
obviously good-looking through the
cork. He, too, has manner of his own.
and he dances like Frenchman. But
best of all in him is singing voice OF
singular, shaggy ,clarionet-like sweetness.
