Dolly Lulu comes in an automobile
of course. Motor cars roll the principal
characters into eleven of the plays in
town this week. sometimes seriously,
often funnily, and in this case for both
admiration and hilarity. Dolly Lulu is
the handsome occupant of q machine
that had forty horsepower, but has

hauled by one poor old horse. The
actress springs out. sings pleasantly
OF the pleasures and penalties Of QUITO

Whirl.
Max and Gus Rogers ride into the
McNally show, ''The Rogers Brothers in

has extra long ears, the cart is a ram

ana kerchug, and then in a single file
they initiate the movements of a train
or cars. For an encore each tourist
gets into her trunk and shuts the lie.
Their voices come out muffled. like a
ventriloquist's when he shuts his man
AKIN IN a box, for a repetition of half
OF the chorus. Suddenly the trunks be
come engine and ccacles, with eight
roguish faces in eight windows, and the
train passes away.
The oldest other Rogers display OF
girls makes the climax of an act. The
whole ballet chorus is used in ballad
extoling the shamrocks of Erin. Every

are thrown on this surface OF parasoIs

while pretending not to. The nine re-
Jected suitors hold a conference in poly

lot, except the tenor lord.

lord quotes from Kipling, but 4 good

as though a good cigar really might
make you forget your love Of an un-
willing woman.
