the same careful attention detail as

ular play.
An all star bill is announced for
Proctor's Twenty-third street theatre
next week, where Odette Tyler heads
the oast with a strong sketch enlisting
the III of Robert Hickman ana
James Spottswood. The sketch itself
is a comedy of marked humorous in
terest, entitled 1.-The Maid, the
Mouse, and the Man. and presents
a capital little love story told in or
iginal fashion. Another capital head
line act is Every Much Grand
Opera, " q genuine operatio absurdity
by Gustaye Karker which offers not
alone good mu sic excellently sung,
but an usually entertaining travesty
upon operatic methods. This is one
of the ~.cleperest and newest ideas dis
played in vaudeville in some time and
will he presented by al unusually big
cast.
De Wolf Hopper, who continues to be
seen as the Regent of Siam in Wang"
has an enviable reputation as a dealer
in repartee. Many of his epigrams have
descended into history at the Lambs
Club, of which the comedian is a dis
tinguished member. 1t was Mr.. Hopper
who branded a certain dignitary with
the description "a man with a million
dollar manner and a ten-cent capability.''
and it was MI. Hopper who said of a
negro poet whose portrait was on view
at the American Galleries that he was
not las black as he was painted" Per-
haps it is partly familiarity with his
own humorous remarks that makes Mr..
Hopper so apt in delivering those of the
authors In whose works be appears.

After the Fair.
for the ReveiIle.I

A number of parties have visited
the Fair, from this neck of the
woods, and Jared sumptuously.
Others are so glad to get home they
are glad they went. Many have
enjoyed the novelty Of excursion
rates and cosmopolitan crowd Ell
route. The underground entrance
into the magnificent million dollar
depot at St. Louis is not an alluring
one. Dense darkness, a suffocating
atmosphere. and the scramble of al
most savage throngs compose a
chapter of horror But chaos re-
solves itself into order as you reach
your pleasant boarding house, and
a delightful bath washes away all
CRIME and uncanny memories of the
trip. A hundred AID 6fty thousand
daily visitors do not crowd the ample
spaces of the incompatible show
that would require months to take
in.

The building of the Baby Incu-

tators at all hours, and is one of the
miracles of science. Some of the
tiny two-pound atoms of humanity
have not strength to move the
tongue and food is introduced into
