Here we are on the threshold of another winter season at the theatres and with an outlook so cheery, as com pared with that of last year. that there is happy feeling coming to those or us who follow the theatrical game of chance.
 The little Casino, tucked away among the green foliage of Electric Park, sti11 calls us with its cool breezes and its clever vaudeville bills The season there will run well Into September, and we are offered one of Mark Swans farce comedies. A Run away Match" this week. as 8 sort of relief from vaudeville.
 The prediction is made that vaude- vflle will he more popular in Mont gomery next summer. It has been percoiating through our craniums that Jake Wells has sent us some of the best things of the vaudeville line to pc had. We haven't taken to 1t this year, but we are learning things right along Mark this; we will cry for vaudeville next year.
 Speaking of vaudeville: Have you found out yet how Brindamour gets out of the box and how he escapes from the handcuffs? This man set Mont gomery by the ears. He's got an act that ought to get the money-and he
 Harry Greenway, orrin Neal. Jack Youngs, Sam Roswald and the other good fellows who have made Electric Park famous, are beginning to look around and make plans for the win- ter.

One hears. however, that Greenway wsli go on the road ahead of one or the Wells winter shows, The Education of MT.

High grade farce, musical com edy and vaudeville are the fneredients which go to make up one of the most successful productions.
 Rich comedy of a rare vintage. catchy music that one wants to whfs- tie. new and novel dances by players who are past masters in their respective lines Is what Is promised and for thsi reason there should be more interest attached to the coming of this attrac- tion than any others that have come before.
