TWO NEW STAGE HITS

Little Memo at the New Amster-
dam theater has taken New York by
storm, and many critics describe the
production as one Of the best specta-
cles ever put on the American boards.
The play. based on the cartoons Of
winsor sfcCay in a prominent eastern
newspaper. has a fairly tangible plot
written by Harry b. Smith. with mu-
sic by Victor Herbert.
Little Memo is a young lad who wan
ders away in his dreams to the most
fantastic regions of the imaginary
world. where nothing that isn't is and
everything that is isn't.
Accompanied by Flip and DR.. PHI.
the missionary, and the Candy Kid,
not to speak Of troops upon troops OF
fairies, cannibals, soldiers and wild
animals, Little Memo made his way
through all the known adventures and
a few specially prepared for the occa-
sion.
When you first saw the cartoon hero
he was playing games In a wonderful
children's playground, where DIR. PHI
In the guise of a fairy policeman ar
rested the rain and prevented 1t from
spelling sport. And you followed him
later to his bedroom. where Gladys.
the cat, saved him from a plot OF
Flip's, who had appeared on the scene
In the guise Of a burglar In order to be
taken to Sunderland In his place,
where he might have married the prfn-
cess and lived happily ever after II
she hadn't told him he looked like a
monkey and spurned his proffered
hand. Also you accompanied him to
the beautiful land of Valentine, where
there were more lovely ladies still, who
sang about Cupid the Postman and
asked you, Wont you be my valen-
timer which seemed a silly question,
as anybody would without the asking.
Things got bad when Flip happened

that has been produced for a long time.
And you subsequently saw Memo and
his party on a cannibal island. where
they were obliged to entertain the cam
nibal king. which they did to his COM

well. Finally at the end of the second
act you saw "a Boys Dream Of the

A Queer Strike.

Samuel Gompers tells of many odd
strikes. Here is one Of them:
ain the town Of Tin Can a strike
once occurred in the melodrama Pure
as Snow
THE leading striker was one Garrick
Siddons. He tried vainly to get his
own and his comrades wages raised to
81 a week, and when his efforts failed
he laid his plans.
1.-THE play concerned a murder. The
villain slew a man in the first act, and
In the third. in a court scene, he was
tried for his life.
"Garrick Siddons was the foreman of
the jury in the court scene. In Tin
Can, at the most thrilling moment.
when the cross examination of the vii
lain was at its height. Garrick Sid
dons rose impressively in the jury box
and said to the villain:
"'De Courcey Gusts. enough of
these subterfuges. You, and you alone,
are the murderer. / ought to know,
for l am the man you killed. But II
Is the last time you will do 1t. sir, -
the wages I am paid at present."

Mr.. Gillette, who has not been ssen

role of a copper king who sacrifices
his fortune of 100000 francs in or

missed his wife. He pictured a Pap ia

no opportunity for strong play.
