Lyceum Has the Only John [.

The Colonial Bellies. at the New,
Lyceum this week, are carrying John

do not need such additional strength as
much as many Of the other shows in the
burlesque wheel The opening and
closing burlettas are better than the
average. because Of the enthusiasm and
vivacity displayed BIZ the chorus, and
the hard work Of the comedians. The.
feature OF the olio is the Great Vulcan.

That "MikadO" Case.

\ correspondent has this to say
anent japan and the Gilbert and Sui
Ivan masterpiece:
1 take exception TO your support OF the
prohibition Of performances of THE
AIikado." voiced in your editorial this
morning. Lack OF a keen sense Of
humor Is a loss IN an editor l hope no
one ever took the grand old "MikadO"
as a slur or even a travesty on the
Japanese.
As you say. little was then known OF
Japan. and as little by w. S. Gilbert as
BY any other Englshman. The char
acters whom Ko-Ko is going To decapi-
tate and the MikadO immense in boiling
oil and melting lead were the objection
able characters in England itself in
lSS5. as were ko-KO and the others, in
troduced as Japanese for picturesque
pess and freedom OF humOr.
Many are the Japs 1 know who have
enjoyed The Mikado' fully The fault
seems to lie With ii, Prosy dun, society
wanting in a sense OF humor, and his
mandate is not 10 be upheld. Give us
more such solid frivolities as The MI
kado." Long live The Mikado.'
H. A. D.
Certainly. Long live 1.-The Mikado."
We repeat it in stentorian tones.
No more brilliant, keen, witty,
amusing and unsteady delightful
comic opera has ever been produced,
nor, we are almost tempted to say
as Dryden said of his Alexander's
feast ode, lever will" When we fail
in the sense of humor that can ap-
preciate such a work of art, may
our pen cleave to the roof of our
hand, or the keys Of our typewriter
stick permanently in their sockets.
But high regard for the operetta
doesn't blind US to the fact that
there is in it something that natu-
rally hurts the pride of the Japa-
nese, especially those of rank. The
Mikado, or even a mikado, is a per-
sonage of considerable sanctity in
the empire, and his cultured SUBJ
jects especially do not like to see
him lampooned. There would be
somewhat similar feeling on our
part if some foreign comic opera
librettist should seize upon Abraham
Lincoln and make him a silly buff
foon, indulging in songs and dances.
1t is essential to get at the true
point of view before denouncinp the
Japanese diplomats as Oversensitive.

NO PANGs IN STARVING.

Novelists write a lot of nonsense
about the pangs % hunger and the ex-
treme suffering that accompanies star
walton. 1t is all poppycock Any
healthy person, with a normal appetite,
after missing two or three meals. is as
hungry as he ever gets. After a while
there is q sense Of weakness that grows
on one, and this Increases with the DAYS
Then there comes a desire for a great
deal Of sleep. u sort OF lassitude that is
not unpleasant, and this desire becomes
more pronounced as the weakness grows.
The end is always in sleep. There is no
keeping awake until the hour Of death.
