the same misconduct for which Smith
was tried, are both under close confine-
ment.

lection in the world for a debut is
The Lady of Lyons, with its stilted

FiScIler's.

To the invisible gentleman who
stages the productions ot Fischer
Theater is due very much of the sue
cess achieved last evening by THE
Whirl of the Town" He has accom-
ly limited facilities. Scenically, the
piece is the most pretentious ever put
forth in the O'Farrell-street home of
burlesQue, and in that respect, as we'll
as several others, its attractiVeness
viii be enhanced by the pruning that
is essential to having the final curtain
descend at reasonable time. The
cutting may be done with a free hand,
for there is much valueless matter
that can be eliminated without hurting
the apology for plot.
Features of the performance were
the temperance of Flossie Hope, who
showed much Improvement since she
twinkled her toes on the same stage
last season, and the local debut of
Lionel Lawrence, who assumed the
role that was created by the late Dan

Even as it was, the new man Impress

Rice and Cady chung to their German
makeup and presented a lot of new
nonsense, and Bobby North abandoned
his Hebraic disguise and made a hit
singing coon songs and burlesquing a
burlesque star. Dorothy Morton had q
cold, but her voice was good enough to
compel recalls of every number she
sang. Nora Bays relinquished her
Teutonic character and gave some
clever vocal limitations, her singing of
Down Where the Wurtzburger Flows''
bringing more encores than she had
verses to respond with. There was a
great deal of Edwin Clark in varied
character, and Ben Dillon also showed
versatility.
That the new Fischerites have al
ready established themselves as prime
favorites was exemplified by the rous-
ing reception that greeted each initial
entrance of principal The floral
tributes were numerous and costly and
the usual first-night oratory was hap
