THEATRICAL NOTES

"The Gingerbread Man"

me cairo BuIetln says
1.-THE golden days when the jingly,
jingly, nursery rhymes we're true,
made all who heard The Ginger
bread Man at the opera house last
night renew their childhood incident
ally adding few touches Of up-to-
dateness.
ut is charming little play, en-
tirely innocent of complications and
as to music, decidedly delightful.
There are one or two exceedingly
good voices. Homer Lind, who plays
the part of Fudge, and Mae Phelps,
who was fascinating little Jack
Horner, being the great attractions OF
the play from a musical standpoint
Miss Phelps is a clever actress and
her beautiful voice, rich, full and
vibrant, was heard with rare enjoy
ment. Miss Phelps was the prima
donna with the Prince of Pilsen
when that play was given it's first run
in New York. Her work is always
artistic and conscientious.
1.-THE comedians and the chorus
were exceptionally good and the COM
pany in the aggregate is strong one
A clever feature in the way of girl
in the moon the light effects OF which
by the way, were the most natura'
and beautiful ever given on this stage
was much admired and a horribly
realistic dragon who breathed fire
caused a real shudder every time he
made his wrlthing entrance.
Clifford Saum, former member
of the Cairo baseball team of the
Kitty league, appeared in the chorus
The Gingerbread Man ranks as
one of the best OF the many musical
comedies seen here and the large
audience was hearty in expressing it,
appreciation"

given at The Kentucky tonight.

Further, the statement says:
THE passenger department still is
under investigation. as are other
matters, such as express earnings.
''If the theory of the attorney gen.
eral as set forth in the bill filed by
him in the supreme court Is sustain
ed by that court, it would of necessi-
ty, involve a restatement of all of the
gross receipts, income. and proceeds
of the charter lines during the peri
cd to be covered blythe investigation.
ITO reapportion the gross income
of the charter lines it will be neces-
sary to take each Individual ship
ment of freight, whether large or
small, that was carried in part over
the charter lines and reapportion the
earnings in accordance with such
rules as may be determined upon by
the supreme court.
Cup to the present time $31,352.S3
mas been expended in the investiga-
ton, every cent of which has been
paid to accountants.
Further. with regard to the great
amount of work necessary to be
done the statement says:
when it is considered that the
earnings of the Illinois Central rail-
road. from which the charter lines
proportion is to be separated, aggre-
gate upwards of $50, 100000 year,
some conception can be formed OF the
great amount of detailed work nee
essary for expert accountants to per-
form in arriving at the correct
amounts due the state under its con-
tract with the Illinois Central rail-
road company. Literally tons and
tons Of papers have been handled by
the states accountants in arriving at
basis for new percentages, and the
compilation of these percentages has
involved over 10000 distinct calcula-
tons by them"

Gertrude Ewing Company.

The Gertrude Ewing company pre-
scented the Mansion of Aching
Hearts" at The Kentucky to a large
and appreciative audience who evil
denced by their liberal applause and
laughter, their thorough appreciation
of the play and players. The piece
was well interpreted and adequately
staged and showed the company to
good advantage. Miss Ewing was
good as usual as Emily Field and ad-
ded new friends to those she has al
ready gained. Mr.. Dean played part
altogether different from the others
in which he has been seen, that of a
minister, The Rev. owen Churchill.
and it must be said that from an ar
tistic standpoint It was by far the
best thing Paducahans have had the
pleasure of seeing him do. Those de-
serving of special mention are ]. G.
Stutzman as Lewis Ho,comb, and
William N. Smith as Silas Fields. Mr..
Charles Colville as Michael Kerrigan
was funny as usual. the balance of
the company acquitted themselves
creditably. The specialties were all
good as usual. The company goes to
Mayfield tonight and returns Friday
for the balance of the week, present.
