Madison Square theatre, New York,
aud at Powers theatre, Chicago, will

that Mr. Wyatt has made saucy, de-
lighsful story with many surprises in
its interlacing of philosophy and inof-
fensive fun. The mounting of the play
Is described as suitable IN every par
ticular.
The cast includes Harry Conor, Sa.
die Martinez and others. The same
elaborate production will be seen here
