comedians. The musical burlesque, Loop
ing the World" Is said TO bo one OF the
most pretcntious productions yet offered
Ia the burlesque field. It Is mounted in
/ me most lavish manner requiring nve
fur sets OF scenery. The comedy is bright
and fresh and Il bustles with humorous

with Louis Mann In the star role "The
Second Fiddle" will be seen at the Opera
House on Saturday night. It is a comedy
drama, and was written especially for Mr..
Mann. by Gordon Blake. Il affords the
star opportunities for serious work to-
wards which he has long had predilec-
tions. but presents him mainly in busi-
ness on the lines that won him his spurs
as a character actor. The production has
/ been favorably received and enjoyed a
nattering success at the Criterion The

extent. This is his first appearance at a
local house since he entered vaudeville

j Lovers of shows dealing with the wild
and woolly West, outlaws. and sherins.
will find something to their liking at the
Lyceum the last three days OF this week.
The production is called the Younger
Brothers and the story of the play is
taken from incidents supposed TO have
taken place IN the lives Of these two
famous outlaws, who were recently given
, their freedom after serving long sem
