The Empire-BurIesaue.

Those local theater-goers who enjoy a
good burlesque show will recall the fact
that of all the organizations TO appear at
the Empire last season there were two COM
panies that stood out in bold prominence
above all their comprehensive Tiger
Lilies" Company and Harry Morriss COM
bination. These companies gave excellent
entertainments that were full of bright mu-
sic. and the very best of burlesque fun.
The management of the Empire has been
fortunate in securing as it's fair week at
traction the Tiger Lilies and if the show
this season proves to be good as the one
of last year the Empire is sure to have a
succession of very large audiences. The
company is under the same management
as ii was last season. and the promise is
made that the entertainment will be fully
up to the old standard. Special attention
has been given. as before. ii is said. to
the appearance and costuming of the cho-
rus, and also to the handsome stage set
tings and brilliant light effects The or
ganization is a large one, and i'm its roster
appear the names of some favorte bur-
Iesque people. The principal performers
with the show are Mr.. and Mrs. James H.
Cooper. the Morrissey sisters, Olga Orloff,
Eddie Estus, Clarence Wilbur. Tom Robin
son. Victor Milo, Stella Mack and Howe,
Berry and Walters. The performance is not
arranged like most burlesque shows, but
in the form of a musical comedy, during the
action Of which the various specialties are
introduced naturally. If the show is equal
in merit to the one given by the same COM
pany last season it will be we'll worth see
ing.

MANY WAYS OF SAYING IT.
Postal OmciaIs Were Puzzled Over the
Wording of a Phrase.

at is interesting to note the numerous
ways in which a person may express the
same thought" said Francis H. Whitney,
private secretary to Postmaster General
Payne, yesterday, land in this connection
it may be recalled that the postoffice au-
thorities found great deal of trouble
few years ago in prescribing the proper
sentence to be used the face of a postal
card to inform the user that ne must in
scribe nothing but the address on that side.
Seven attempts were made before the pres
ent phrase was adopted
"One of the earliest cards was made TO
bear the sign, Nothing but the address
can be written on this SIDE" which was
untrue. as many persons could write more
IL they so desired. Shortly afterward il
was changed so as to say, Nothing but the
address is to be placed on this side which
was more sensible, but was clumsy and
soon discarded. The next issue of the cards
written on this SIDE, which it was soon
seen could easily be construed to bar the
use of typewriter. The same objection
could be raised to Write only the address
on this side
FINALLY the authorities got hystericA
and the next issue of the cards informed
the user that he could write the address
only on this side. the message on the other
which was not only clumsy. but ambigu-
Gus. and conveyed wrong meaning. as the
officials really, down in their hearts. had
no objection to a person writing the address
on both sides of the card. Later the word
only was dropped. but without much i'm
provement. 1t was finally decided that
there was no use in trying to be original
and so they fashioned the phrase which is
now In use after the one used on the postal
cards issued by the British government

and does it without confusion. Perhaps
the cars are in at a. m and there is to
be a matinee at 2 d. m. In six hours the

half of this time is actually required. Each
piece is in its regular place in the car.
Certain pieces go on the first load, certain
others on the second and so on till the cars
are empty. Mr.. Kunst, Hanlons master
carpenter, takes his place on the stage of
the theater and directs the men just where

men stow away or put together the mass

erect the electrical effects and make the
necessary connections In the meanwhile
Mrs. Haslam and her aids unpack and lay
out the costumes and millinery And in
less than four hours the production is lin,

impede these arrangements, yet in every

ties.
