light and breezy form Of entertainment.
One of the most pretentious is the
"Jolly Girls' company, which will ap-
pear at the Dewey this week. 1t is said
that money has been lavishly spent to
provide something wholly superior to
the average burlesaue offerings. A com
pany,. Of thirty pretty, young and viva
cious' girls, picked for their qualiica-
tions as singers and actresses, as well
as for their attractiveness, and coterie
of comedians known thruout the country
as mirth- -provokers, have been gathered
under the management Of "The jolly
Girls.'' It is promised that the pro-
gram will be a novelty from the rise
of the curtain on the opening burletta,
entitled can Honest Politician, ~ writ
ten by Barney Gerard, to put the COM
pany on happy footing with the au-
dience, until the curtain descends on
the afterpiece called ga Tempest in a
Tea House, said to contain more
catchy musical numbers than the aver
age comic opera. Between these will be
an olio of choice vaudeville, headed by
Bragg & Ashton, comedy sketch artistss
Rosalie, in pleasing songs and dances;
the Lassard Brothers, famous acrobats
and equilibrists, in a sensational chair
and pyramid act; Melville & Revere, a

thrown together and the inevitable has
happened. Richmond goes to Europe for
six months. Ann falls in love with an
other man, Titus, deeply, honestly in
love-a feeling different from, the one
Richmond that the relations between
them are at an end. He refuses to ac
cept her ultimatum. Ann goes to Lon
