There has been great deal of cur
loSlty all the season as to the prob-
able reception by the public of the
new Weber & Ziegfeld show at tha
Weber Music Hall, deprived of tine
advantage of Lew Fields services as
comedian. Argument on this sub

the fact that persons anxious to Sc
cure admission have been turned awav
in droves from every performance Of
'Higgledy Piggledy." which is now fin
its third week and likely to last ali
the season. 1t is by far the most sunni

Warfeld, by the by, is beginning to
think of new play for next year, al
thought there is certainly no real ne

forehandedness is regarded as a valu-

demand for 1.-THE Music Master will
surely not be satisfied for at least two

of prudence TO lay out future cam
