porary display is the effort made to Sc

The sentimental ballads that appeal

they come to be written9 There is
probably no recipe or formula for a
successful song hit. Sometimes the
music carries it thru, more often the
words, and sometimes it is happy
combination of both.

comedy, "Fritz & Smith, which opens
a weeks engagement at the Bijou with
a Sunday matinee, is a striking example
of consistency in construction. Mason

possessed so satisfactory vehicle for
their fun-making talents. ."F'ritz &,

The company is high class thruout, the
difficult task having been accompllshe I'd
of gathering a galaxy Of beauty and

Metropolitan-"Girls Will Be Girls -

Starting tomorrow night. and contin-
uing the entire week will be presented,
at popular prices what is said to be the
bggsst mnsiea G9me W Re r
is one Of VIM. A. Brady's gorgeous pro-
auctions. Colonel W. A. Thompson, the
manager of the company, SO well known
in the twin cities on account OF his con-
nection with big opera companies, states
that theatergoers turnout the country
are flocking to all OF the Brady, shows,
because he is giving a two.dollar per,
Torrance for one dollar. "Girls Will
Be Girls was written by R. Melville
Baker and Joseph Hart, and tells the
story of professor of dead languages
at a seminary, who escapes from a
raided cock-fght, leaving his coattail in
the hands of the police. The attempts
of these officers to restore the coat
tail to it's owner in order, so to speak,
to make a suit against him, furnish
numerous complications and unexpected
turns of plot. Among the laughable sit
uations thus evolved is one in which the
professor, who has acquired very con-
siderable fit of intoxication, attempts
to get away from the officers by climb
ing the spiral stairway to an observa-
tory. The difficulties Of spiral stair
way to drunken man keep the audi
ence in an uproar of laughter up till
the learned gentleman reaches the top.
"Girls Will Be Girls'' has for its locale
the interior and exterior of seminary
near Boston, and the fifty or more
pretty young women who take part in
it are said to be charmingly simple and
simply charming in dainty gowns of
organdie and other ,girly dresses. The
musical numbers which Mr.. Hart has
composed include many whistleable
tunes among them Japanese lullaby,
"Mey 0 SAM which is sung with
unique electric effects. Mr.. Brady s
company is headed by Al Leech and the
Three Rosebuds and score of pretty
girls and college boys, and it comes to
gagement at McVickers, Chicago.
