That musical comedies have some
lasting qualities as well as more seri-
Gus productions was evidenced last
night by the enthusiastic manner in
winch the audience at the Metropolitan
received 'The Burgomaster.''
Oscar L. Figman as the burgomaster
was we'll received by the audience last
night, many Of whom knew "The Bur
gomaster" almost by heart Charles
Sharp as Doodle Won KuH, the burgo-
masters secretary, was good at times,
but there is undoubtedly room for
Improvement in his work. Thomas
Ricketts, as E. Booth Talkington was
actually funny. but the male chorus,
as whole, was somewhat amateuriSh.
Miss Ruth White, pretty as ever,
added much to the strength of the cast
but the honor along this line must be
shared by Miss White with Helen Dex-
ter IN the role of Ruth, the girl from
Chicago, whose singing was most en-
Enthusiastically received.
The tale of 1.-The Burgomaster" is
as Well known to theater goers as "The
Tale of the Kangaroo" the catchy song
which had it's origin in "The Burgo-
MASTER and A story Of the pretty,
though plotless musical comedy, is un-
necessary.
The chorus, while not large, was well
balanced, and the girls were all pref
ty, and it Is safe to say that those

ton at the Metropolitan for one night
only. To- night Edward Morgan in Hall

1.-THE ThorouehbredsD at the Star.
Frank Carr's capable corps of en-
tertainers began the week at the Star
yesterday. The company maintains it's
reputation as a strong singing organiz-
alton, and in the comedy line is quite
up to the average. The first part is a
bit weak, but the remainder is fast, and
contains plenty Of fun and a number of
good specialties. Some new material
and clever electrical effects are being
rehearsed. and by the middle of the
week the weak spots will have been
eliminated.
The olio contains the names of per-
formers well known to Star patrons. A
remarkable contortionist act is that
done by Mile. La Toska. Russell and
O'Neil are capable comedians, but they
might be better If they did an act of
their own instead of doing Reid and
Gilbert's stuff, which is very much
worn out. There is, as usual, nothing
monotonous about the turn contributed
by Washburn and Flynn. Miss Wash
burn is one of three sisters, one of
whom was here last week. They are
all clever. The gingery Josie Flynn is
the embodiment of animation, and the
team is very popular. The Empire
Comedy Four, an excellent quartette,
sing well and have considerable amuse-
ment interspersed between the music
selections. Kennedy and Evans, the
Celtic comedians, have the funniest act
in the olio. They possess monkey

Fire Commissioners So Vote for Site of
 New Engine House.
 A regular meeting of the fire commits sioners was held last evening with the entire board present. A communica- tion was received from the board of finance stating their disapproval of the purchasing of the Foote lot, as a site for the new Fourth ward engine house. The fire commissioners accepted the communication, and then voted to buy the Ward lot, for that purpose, at a cost of s3,250. From the first the fire commissioners have desired to purchase the Ward lot, but until recently the price asked for it was considered too much. It is now expected that the finance board will accept the decision of tEe fire commission. The petition which Anthony Carroll presented to the board of aldermen. in refernece to Fire man Miller, and which was referred to the fire commissioners. was tabled url- til the next meeting. A communication was also received from Morris Steinert asking the board to grant him fire pro- tection for his Whitneyville residence. This matter was tabled for an inyesti- gation until the next meeting.
