The com pany is under the management of Mel vilie B.

 "The Seminary Girl."
 A.AA k.A kA features about The Seminary Girl" Melville B. Raymond's latest musical production which comes to the Mont gomery Theatre Wednesday night, not the least of which. is the thoroughly American atmosphere of the book
 The story is consistent and wittily unfoIded. Steve Dwyer, New York politician, realizing that his daughter, Dorothy. will soon leave the seminary determines to have plenty of blue blood in the family. Armed with a check book he goes to Germany in search Of a title, meets Baron Rudolph won Cru Der; looks up his family and buys up the scion of nobility outright and re- turns to the United States. Dorothy and some of her friends are spending the summer at Saratoga. Young Gran nan, a typical American of the never say-dis-class, very much in love with Dwyer's child, meets her father and takes him for an escaped lunatic' Daffy Dan. Steve thinks the young man is crazy and tries to hunor him. In the midst of very funny scene, in comes an aged school-marm spirster who would say yes" to the question which would add the prefix of Mrs. to her name. She inas:nes that Dwyer is the King of some South Boa Islands and relentlessly pursues him. The Baron's American wife arrives in search of her vanishing husband and mistakes the German waiter, Schultz. a follower of Grammar, for the Baron Daffy Dan, the lunatic, comes into view and points out old Dwyer as the insane individual. The trouble waxes fast and furious for everybody.
 The second act shows the deck of & yacht. How Grammar prevents the marriage of Dorothy and the Baron is highly interesting and the sequence Is naturally worked out.

Jane Hood. Eleanor Bergere, Rose Bergere, Elta Bridge 
 The Seminary Girl" abounds in numbers that possess that quality, which for want of better term are called catchy. There are songs for every taste. The male portion of the audience is invariably captured by Rushing over Hill and Dale" and You'll Never Be Missed" The dainty sentiment of sweetheart Sue" touches chord in the hearts of the audience no matter the age of the listener. I'm Crazy and I Know It" excites the merriment of the house while the lover of "coon" songs cannot escape the charm of Honey, I'm Waiting" The vivacity and chic of Things We Learn It School" likewise The Naughty appeal to all.
