"Burgomaster'' as presented at the
Elks' theater last night, with Oscar l..
Figman in the title role, made de-
cided hit and took rank as one of the
season. Mr.. Figman has physikue
eminently suited for the part OF the
comical "burgomaster" and kept his
audience in a good humor all the time
he was on the stage. Miss Ruth White
as willie" was also clever. The
house was we'll filled and all express
themselves as being delighted with
the production. The chorus was we'll
balanced, the singing excellent, and
the costumes pretty. ALI the leading
characters were first-class in their sew
eral parts. A car load of special seen
cry was carried.
The presentation OF a story like
Thelma in dramatic form leaves a
most delightful remembrance with an
auditor long after the lights of the
theater have gone out on it's final
scene. 1t is dramatic, and is written
in the best vein of that clever moulder
of characters, Marie Corelli. For the
current year, which is the third one
ct success for this play, most capa-
BILE company has been secured, strong
er even than in the past, as it has
justified any outlay or expense by its
earning capacity. Thelma will offel
one of the olden attractions of the
season. 1t will be presented by the
regular New York cast at the E!ks'
theater tonight.
