If not the most important amusement events of the year will be Klaw and Erlanger's stupendous pro- duction of that beautiful musical nov city, The Indian Rajah and Rance" or Under the Ham Tree" at the Hyperion Friday evening, Sept. 6, in which they are starring the kings of laugh pro- ducers, Mcintyre and Heath. It is doubtful whether there is in the couq- try or even was a team of comedians who do black face act who are so popular with amusement lovers as are Mcintyre and Heath. From one end of the country to the other they have de- lighted patrons of the theater, and Under the Ham Tree" they have the greatest opportunities. George V. Ho- bart is responsible for the book of '4The Ham Tree" and the lyrics and music by William Jerome and Jean Schwartz. The production is said to be hand some one. There are three acts which are divided into four scenes, each re- quiring an elaborate setting, The com pany is in all said to number over 100 persons and among them are some clever entertainers. The comic juggler, W. c. Fields, with his new and unique Juggling act, and Frederick V. Bowers, the popular tenor are prominent in the cast. Besides those features in the bill Klaw and Erlanger claim to have gath cred together a chorus that is not only able to make pleasing picture, but one that can offer something well above the average in the musical line, and ad- mitted to be the best singing and danc- ing chorus in the world.
