This extraordinary production proved, it is said, to be the 'piece de re- sistance" in the line of musical comedy offerings last season, and there is ey- cry cause for the assertion that 1t will not relinquish its grasp on that distinc- tion. In fact, the farce really seema to grow in favor as one sees it.
 One of the features of the play which will stand out prominently will be the chorus of thirty singing beauties" These indispensable adjuncts to the successful musical farce have been supplied with costumes which are described as being creations of the modistes art. Many new musical numbers have been added 10 the list which tickled the ear last time, several of which, 1t is confidently pre- dicted, will become popular hits"

From the Chicago Tribune.
 Congressman Cannon said to the mem bers of the Hamilton club: "I am no speech maker" and gave them a talk which did not touch on politics. states menship statesmen, or candidates but which pleased his audience greatly. Thus Mark Antony set out by saying that he was no great orator, and then inflamed his hearers with his eloquence. The con- gressman said:
 T never wrote a speech in my life, and never but once used one that another man had written. I envy the man who can sit down in cold blood and achieve a thought, then dress it-put clothes on it. pants, coat, vest, shoes and collar and turn it out in full attire, as Minerva sprouted from the brain of Jupiter

"A Trip to Chinatown"

'It Is said "A Trip to Chinatown" made an enviable reputation in the cities t played last year.I This comedy was the pet play of it's author Charles H. Hoyt who said he derived more pleasure ln writing it than from any other of his plays
 The company that appears in "A Trip to Chinatown at the Jefferson theater to- morrow matinee and night is the same one that presented "A Stranger in New York at that house about two weeks since. It is headed by Jack Campbell. Great care was used in selecting the com pany as to singing qualities and a musical treat is promised the public.
 The prices charged for this engagement are about one-half usually charged at this house.

"The Wizard of oz,v

One of the features of "The Wizard of oz," Fred R. Hamlin's musical extrava- ganza, Is the lion which has created sensation by it's amusing comedy and natural manner. Several people have played the character since "The Wizard of O." was first produced at the Grand Opera House in Chicago over a year ago, and all have been equally successful, which demonstrates that il Is not so much the man within the skin as in the prop erty itself. The head is a perfect fac simile of a real lion and the expression of the face the motion of the mouth and eyes, and the good natured ferocity of the entire expression is extremely Imaginable. It is certainly the most perfect property lion that has ever been used on the stage. Another comedy animal is the COW. Imo- gene, which cavorts throughout the en- tire piece much to the amusement of the young folks.

 One advantage which the man who writes his speech has is that he can yer fly his quotations and dates. If Congress- man Cannon had written the one he made on Saturday he would not have said, Tt was a beautiful sentiment the Master ex pressed when he said, Let not him boast that putteth on, but he that putteth off the harness. " That was not said by the Master, but by Ahab, King of Israel. No doubt MT. Cannons parents made him read the Bible diligently when he was boy but chairman of the committee on appropriations Is too busy man to con- tinue steadily the studies of his youth. It is not entirely safe for man in public life to make a Bible quotation off-hand, and yet if he does make a slip there may be nobody in the audience to note it. Probably there are few of the members of the Hamilton club who are thoroughly informed about the history of Ahab and the wise and foolish things he said and did

 The success which Blanche Walsh achieved in Chicago as Maslova in Resurrection was so remarkable as to occasion editorial comment in the news papers such as is rarely accorded to theatrical affairs. It was officially stated by the manager of McVicSers theatre that during her engagement of three weeks S3S,04400 was taken in at the box office, which represents nearly fifty-five thousand paid admissions. Her engage ment was one of the most remarkable in the history of Chicago theatricals, and yet the vehicle she used had none of the usual sensational effects to allure the ignorant and curious. There is no tank, no buzz-saw and no interrupted mar riages. It is a great moving intense melodrama, carrying a great purpose cal- culated to make people think and think hard. no matter what their station in life.

the manner in which the play has been staged by managers. Enthusiastic com ments on the great scene of the play are going the rounds of the newspaper ex- changes. This scene represents an en- campment of Alexander S army among the clouds in the mountain tops. The sol diers are driven to dispair by the terrors of an electric storm and a driving bliZ- gard. The effects, which are said to be marvellous are produced by recent elect rical invention.
 George M Conan, of the Four Cohans was out walking in the suburbs of Seat tie one day. when he met a little fellow strutting along with all the dignity of young manhood and wearing a pair of trousers which were so long that they wrinlxled perceptibly at the ankles.
 How old are you?' asked Cohan, with a cheerful inclination to draw the boy into conversation.
 The little chap appeared confused, hesi- tated. and finally replied Well, I alnt but twelve, but my pants is marked 16."

The costuming of this number Is not startling, but the cool fresh white flannel is restful to the eye after the gorgeous gownng in the earlier part of the play MT.

 The following from the Baltimore News tells of the first night of George Faw- cetts new play:
 "The Favor of the Queen the play chosen this year, is romantic com- edy by MT. Roy s. Sensabaugh and was acted for the first time at Ford's last night. The theme carries LIS back to the spacious times of Queen I1lzabeth who, indeed is one of the characters. The period is deeply interesting, dramatic and picturesque, and it is a little surprising that, in the recent revvals of the TO- mantle drama, it has not been used more freely. The author in the present instance not only deals with the familiar char acters boldly but even takes up Shake speare himself There was some curlos- ity to see how he would treat the great playwright-the man, not for an age, but for all time-and 1t must be said that it is with the greatest reverence
