aders'' was originally produced, is the
owner of the piece. Associated with

these men. The active management
will be assumed by Herbert w. Clio
kauf, at present on the staff Of the

1.-THE Paraders' can easily be said to
be the best of all shows staged at the
La Sale theater. The book and lyrics
are by Raymond w. Peck. The music
and score is by Robert Hood Bowers.
The piece is being staged by Richard
Bartlett.
The company Is composed of ex-
ceptionally clever comedians. Miss
Rosalie Sheldon, the prima donna, has
soprano voice Of good range and
wears handsome and costly gowns. The
Waldron brothers, a team Of German
comedians, are immensely amusing.
They have great conception of the
parts allotted them and their work
alone should carry the piece to sue
cess.
The Ell More sisters, a. team of chic
and versatile soubrettes, have been
especially engaged for this production.
They are comedy and sprightly. Others
in the cast worthy of mention are
Charles. H. Francis as the Texas, Ed
Hutchinson as Mexican serenader
and Ruby Lusby as the majors daugh-
ter. There is no end of good things in
he Do L. 4%41
and the sort that fingers. The stage
pictures are beautiful and there is not
a dull moment during theaction of
the piece.
An early attraction in this city will
be the ever popular I'm Old Kentucky"
and there could be no more welcome
news to the average playgoer than
this mere announcement. The play will
undoubtedly attract the same enthu-
siastic attendance as heretofore. This
will make the thirteenth season Of
this remarkable drama and big COM
pany and splendid scenic outfit will
be provided for the forthcoming pre-
sentation. The pickaninny contingent
will be larger than previously carried
and will include a lot Of new talent Of
Ethiopian hue. There is always some
thing new in the pickaninny scene.
In Old Kentucky" is the best exam
pie of an American melo drama pro-
duced in a. decade. AS Is generally
known it deals with an interesting
phaseof Kentucky life and is SYM
metrical and we'll proportioned dra-
matte work, characterized by a poetic
fervor and keen and forcible phrase
ology. Its main strength lies in its
simplicity and picturesqueness. 1t is
full of exciting situations and dramatic
episodes and contains some admirable
types drawn from life in the blue grass
and mountain sections Of Kentucky.
There is said to be much for ones
ear, eye, and sense Of humor in the
coming big London and New York mu-
steal farce which is underline dat the
Lyceum theater for next Labor day
matinee and evening. It is added that
there are no draggy moments and that
1t is just the thing to cause one to
lose sight of the fact that there are
many real troubles in the world, and
to believe that the troubles that do ex-
list are only mimic ones. 1.-The Girl
From Kay's" improves upon acquain-
lance it is asserted furthermore. The
girl herself is pleasantly described as
a xixenish young woman whose pen
chant for flirting one overlooks be-
cause it Is harmlessand has no serious
results,
