THE RICH MIR HoGGENHEIMER.

THE RICH MIR HOGGENHElMEh. "Laugh and grow fat" is an old saying, but certainly If there IS any truth in the remark, about all those present at Polls last evening must have gained several pounds in averdu- pois. Sam Bernard was there with as clever and well balanced a company as the most exacting could desire. Sam was the rich MT Hoggenheimer and if he was only f1ctitiously rich in the matter of coin, during those strenuous days, he was surely rich Tn humor and he distributed it with a lavish hand. It was not the rough, uncouth, knockabout comedian that one so often finds in productions of this kind, but the finished product, with bright, crisp and catchy manner isms and a whole barrel of fun that flowed freely and kept everybody in good nature. To make everything better still he had a company Of cleV- CT ladies and gentlemen. The songs were for the most part new, some or them novel and the stage settings and ideas were peculiarly woven together. Miss Georgia Caine, she who has SC often pleased us before, had excellent opportunities to display her versatil' ity and she took advantage Of them all. Her songs were bright and catchy and her entire work mos' commendable. There was another lady who shared the honors with hel in the person of Miss Marion Carson in the character of Amy Leigh. She too sang we'll and her love making scenes with Guy Hoggenheimer, the son of the millionaire were almos
 true to life. The character of the sor was taken by Mortimer H. Weldon and it appeared to many of the audi
 ence as if they were lovers in reality not the stage article. The whole pro duction was beautifully staged and |
 was a pleasure to witness such mu
 sical farce, free from any vulgar O.
 disgusting comedy work.

the Burglar" has been temporarily enjoined by Outcault and Lefer from using his own name, Buster Brown. This particular Buster" claims to be entitled to the name he bears by right of birth. He is the son of Dr E. Boyd-Coleman-Brown of Boston, and on and off the stage looks like Outcault's creation. The case has been appealed, and when heard in higher courts promises to be extremely interesting, as it in wolves the question. of copyright of personal or proper names.

 The surprising statement was re- gently made in the London Daily News that the Wearing O the Green" was a Scottish melody. 4 correc- tion by Dr Grattan Flood appeared in the British paper, stating: "The air to which The Wearing O the Green is sung is an authentic Irish melody, and was given by the lrisli actor Macklin to his daughter, 'who sang it in 1757 in Smolleru's only sue cessful play, The Reprisals.' The London journay adds: i've must ac- cept correction from such all author ity. only pleading that at least one eminent musician made the statement corrected. Should this meet the em- inent musician's eye, he will, per haps, dispute the point with Dr Flood"

 According to the Omaha Bee, a farmer with alfalfa on his chin strolled into the lobby of theater 1T that city the other day and became engrossed in the pictures displayed there. Before the farmer had ex hausted the theatrical gallery he be thought himself that he might be in fringing rules by inspecting the pic lures without paying for the pleas ure, and he went to the box office window and asked, How much b' they?" Informed that tickets Wer' 25, 35 and 50 extraordinarily 1 was a popular priced theater, he con cluded that he could see as much fo 25 cents as for 50, and negotiated ticket for the smaller amount.
