sent at the Gennett Monday night, a
musical comedy entitled The Time,
The Place, and the Girl" Never in
the history Of the theatrical world has
a performance had such phenomenal
success, having broken all records in
the metropolis of tho West for long
runs; 463 continuous performances at
Chicago. several months in Boston
and marvellous success in New York
at Wallack's theatre, which opened at
the beginning Of this season.
During the run at the La Sale the
atre at Chicago for eight months II
received the uneuuivOcal approval of
the theatre-goers and the press. II al
so exec eded in attendance any musical
show that ever appeared at the La Sal
le. At every performance during the
long engagement the production play
ed to capacity and it was impossible
TO secure seats unless obtained four
weeks in advance. The reasons for
this unusual success are ascribed by
the management to the fact that the
authors have struck the new idea in
musical plays and have developed it
with unusual skill.
