Catchy Music the Thing.

"A catching melody" says a pro-
moter of musical shows, will do more
to make musical piece go than all
the incidental business and show girls
in creation" To give new turn to an
old saying, the tunes the thing. The
words of hardly any of the popular
songs are worth memorizing. In most
eases they are either stupid or vul-
gar. 1t is the same with the old-fash-
toned Italian opera; the libretto is
wretched, but the melodies, like beauty
itself, are joy forever.-Boston Tran
script.
