pearance of Miss Hope Booth IN a
clever sketch by George NJ. Cohan,
The Little Blonde Lady" The char
acters in the playlet are an ambi-
tious girl dramatist, a prominent and
severe dramatic critic and q fresh
office boy. Miss Booth, in private life
is Mrs. Rennold Wolf, the wife of the
dramatic editor of the New York Tele-
graph. and this fact gives additional
point TO the amusing skit. Miss Booth
OF course will be seen as the young
dramatist who applies at the news
paper Office for the position of stenog-
rapher to the critic who has the rep
utation of being a '.griller." She plans,
this way. to get good notice about
her play and adopts the method stated
as means of placating the dragon
critic. The complications which follow
are said to be amusing and novel. and
the interest engendered is sustained at
the keenest tension throughout the ac-
tion of the sketch.
Valadon. who was formerly with the
great Keller as assistant, will appear
in some wonderful Illusions. This is his
first tour In vaudeville and he has been
a sensation wherever he has appeared.

the reputation of being the best negro
performers on the vaudeville stage.
