"A satirical review" is what the
author has called 1.-The Sho Gum" and
those who read his points Of Satire
as found in his many writings will
know the breadth of the statement.
The satire Of George AIDE is something
vastly different from that handed out
by the other writers--it is forceful and
telling at all times and while his word

life and the real life subjects may

the work just the same.
Of the lyrics provided by Mr.. Laud-
ers and Mr.. AIDE, the prettiest and most
enjoyable of the score or more in the
opera are, "Your Honeymoon Will
Last" '"Twitter Little Birdie,' you're
Just Little Different From the Others

Truly" ITO Teach the Young Idea How
to Shoot" "Moozoo May" '"The Bach
elors' and the Hike Chorus" The
ensembles too, are far above the aver
age.

melodramic play, is said to receive
from Max H. Meyers, under whose
management it is making tour Of the
country a most elaborate production,
apparently nothing having been left
undone in the scenic establishment to
make it a most noteworthy production
Manager Meyers has in the principal
part, Joseph Stanley Americas
greatest boy actor, and as Mr.. Reid
wrote the play especially to fit this
youngster, he has a vehicle which is
worthy of his undoubted genius. There
