50 long governed this style of entertain

legitimate lines, introducing travesty in
stead OF rough and-tumble comedy, and
staging the musical numbers with a regard
for color scheme and pictorial effects
worthy of musical comedy. The result
was almost sensation. The show re-
ceived an amount of critical consideration
wholly unusual, and the public crowded
the theater where Wine, Woman and
Song was being played. The effect will
be that numerous burlesque managers will
endeavor to put their performances on a
little higher basis. so that it will be more
difficult than ever next season to draw the

THE WEARING OF THE GREEN.

"The Wearing of the Green" which Dion Bouccicault used to sing in one of his Irish dramas at the old AGel- phi theater. was sung for the first time in the house of commons last week on the occasion of the dinner given to the colonial premiers by the Irish nationalist party. It reminds one of the joke practiced by the late Sir William Wilde (father of oscar Wilde) on the then attorney general for Ire land. who had prohibited Bouccicault from singing this same song when performing in Dublin with his com pany It must be remembered that there is no licenser of plays in Ireland. but the Castle" has often put its foot down in the case of songs with se- ditious reputation. Shortly afterward Sir William invited Bouccicault to dinner to meet "a friend" Int dra- matist came and sang the terrible tune to the friend. who that morning had officially prohibited il at the old Roy al theater. being none other than tht attorney general himself.
