/ It is not much to say that B. C.
| Whitney's musical cocktail 'Piff, Paff
Pouf," last seasons marked success,
which will be seen here in the future,
| is by far the best work Of its kind that
has been written in many years 1t is
rational, consistent, well written, both
as to book and musical score, and is
deserving of the wide attention it has
received throughout the country, par
ticularly throughout the country, par
Here's another story by Al Wilson
who is booked for an early appearance
in his latest and greatest success en-
titled Metz in the Alps" Mr.. Will
son was playing last season at Mia
CARA Falls, y. Y, and to make it
pleasant for his company, hired sew
eral rigs and invite everyone to a
view of the great waterfall. When
they arrived in sight of the immense
sheet of water, rushing in a graceful
curve over the precipice to the rocks
below, they were filled with astonish-
ment and awe-and expressions OF
amazement were the order of the
moment.
Mr.. Wilson, turning to an old Ger
man smoking pipe, exclaimed. Isn't
it grand, glorious, wonderful how it
flows?" The German looked at him
moment, knocked the ashes from
his pipe, and said, Il don't see any
thing wonderful about dot-vots to
hinder it?''
Lovers of realism will find it in
abundance in Wilton Lackeye's new
play, The Law and the Man. which
is founded on that famous novel, Les
Miserables." When Victor Hugo
wrote two books which he segregated
under this title, he wanted to expose
and right great wrong. And he did,
overthrowing the penal system of
France, and incidently paving the way
for the second revolution. Mr.. Lack
aye is playing the role of the unfor-
tunate ex-galley slave, Jean Vatican,
one of the most powerful characters
in imaginative literature. Mr.. A. |
Brady has mounted the piece in his |
lavish manner.
An abundance of good lines and |
pungent wit with dramatic situations |
blended among the budicrous comedy |
by incidents called "A Race for a Wi |
dow" comes to the Gennett soon.

ually good one, headed by Pete Baker.
the famous comedian of Chris and
