FRITZI SCIIEFF.

Perhaps one of the most eloquent evidences that light opera is again in the ascendant in this country is the slIcress that has attended Charles Dil- linyham's venture in this department at the Broadway thcater. New York. where. in addition to what must he styled strictly up to date produc- tions.- he has been. previous to the present road tour. starring Miss Fritzi Sclieff in a repertoire of comic opera popular in the days of our fathers. Whether it be luc sclely to the popn- larity of this artist oT the intrinsic merits of the composers and librettists of a generation ago certain it is the revival of such old-time favorites as -Boccaccio" has proved a success far beyond the dreams of the enterprising manager responsible for it. Miss SchefTs season at the Broadway the ater extendeI over five months. New Yc-k is not in the habit of dipping down into its pockets in such persist ent fashion as this fact indicates were it not offered an adequate something in return. Miss Schef will be seen in her favo-itp role Bo<caccio. in the magnificent revival of that splendid comic opera. at Poli-S Monday evening and she will have the assistance cf <uch popular artists as Louis Harrison Richie Ling.

POL|'S
THE ENTERTAINER KIDS"


 There are no dull moments during the entertainment furnished by Blon- dell and Fennessy's farce-cOmedy, "The Katzenjammer Kids" which was given at Poli's this afternoon and will be repeated tonight. When the curtain rises on the first scene the fun starts and it continues fast and furious all the way through. The famous Kids" and their OmnipOtent Mud der furnish a nucleus around which the structure of the play is built. Their gr9tesque actions and mischiev- ous pranks. coupled with the comicali- ties introduced by the other members of the excellent company supply a con- tinuous round of pleasure that cannot be beat. In these days almost every body reads the metropolitan papers, and through the comic supplements of the Sunday issue of these journals few there are who have not been familiar with the iOings of the notorious "EatZenjammer Kids" and their TO- tund. excitable German "Mudder." It suffircs to say that the show is funnier even than the pictures. Prices are 25. g. and JO cents.

Here is a story that Henry Irving used to tell himself in England as hap pening on one of his visits to New York. The same cabman drove him from his hotel to the theater every night but one in the week. That was the cabby's of" night. "rd like to see you act one of these nights." the ca'bby said, after both had come to like each other. Come tomorrow" re- piled Irving, ''Im acting Shylock.'' He felt in his pocket for card to write an order for seats, but he had forgot ten his case. So in his free-handed way he gave the cabby the price of two seats And how did you and your wife like me-" the actor asked when the cabby was back at his post. "Why. the fact is." stumbled the coachman, we didn't go." Didn't go? Why not?' You see. sir, it was all on account of the missus. The missus, sir, preferred the continu- ors'"

 At Mini Novgorod, 6ne of'the great trade centers of the empire, the palace of the governor was besieged by n crowd of hungry women with babies in their arms. They asked for bread. and the governor replied that he would appoint a commission to investigate the situation.
