ments lifted from other shows. OF a SINH

siderable courage. assumes the responst-
Ibility for the rest. Still, the merit OF

lies in its drawing powers, and the OBJ
server is moved to wonder. since bad
shows can draw good houses and win APP
plause. whether it is worth while to put
on good productions?

lesque with which the performance opens,
is made up Of number of aged situa-
tions, welded together with a thin very
thin) mortar of originality. The come
dams are as bad as the chorus and the
chorus as good as the comedians. The
olio is headed by Kippy, q comedian juggler
who, judging from his performance yes
terday, needs practice. Mcdonald and
Cody present a German Irish comedy
sketch. " Ferguson and Passmore, sing
ers and dancers, have one Of the few good
turns in the show. Miss Passmore sings
coon songs with considerable viyacity, but
with perfect freedom from vulga rity. Mr..
Ferguson dances with an abandon that
wins merited applause. Frank Finney
sings one or two good parodies, and
springs a number Of gags, Of which two
or three are fresh.
The closing burlesque. The Isle of
Dinky Doc has some good situat lions,
but it is marred by tinge Of that coarse
ness which is not funny.

The recent visit of President Roosevelt
has been the means of cenenting friendly
relations between the business men of the

state has been the cry and you have ipl-
mediately proceeded to mar its natural
beauty. Ten years ago I urged the call
ing of an expert landscape architect for
the planning Of Minnehaha park but the
park board laughed at me. So from year
to year you have gone ahead, putting
down a building here. an animal coop
there, building in another place. until we
have nothing but a motley collection of
animal coops and dirty buildings The
only expert advice employed at Minnehaha
was in the selectionof site for the new
