Conan, You recognize it at once, for
it has confronted you during the past
| few years, in papers and Autographs
on the bill boards in theatres and
where music IL sold There is no need
to take note OF it. You will not be al
lowed to forget it, The game is early
| yet; Conan il young and his energy
liz inexhaustible. Conan il one of the
| important figures of the stage. He
would have been lust NJ big in other
lines Of endeavor, for he is the per
soDification OF the American spirit of
git thar". He is restless, enger, am
bilious; glutton for work; fellow
who il constantly occupied in putting
his goal further ahead, for he comes
up TO the old one too quickly. In less
than quarter century Of li.e, he has
crowded enough labor aud enough
glory to have filled the three score
years and ten OF the average man.
And vet he is not satisfied. The
world IL his cake and he has only nib

plums further in and he is going to
have them, No one who knows him

third ne,"Little johnny Jones'. on
the way ready for launching. When
ever any of the big metropolitan pro-
ductions lag IN action or lack in hu-
NOR, he il called in to make good the
DEFICIENCIES, He has created a schooI
OF dancing that has been suatcaoi up
by every vaudeville performer of the
day and which not a single one has
succeeded IN. And all easily; one
might say uncousciousiy.
