"Hans and Mix"

The two Jolly fellows, Dixon and
Rernard in the second edition of the
merry musical comedy. Hans and
Nix" is announced as the initial pro-
duction at the Keylor Grand theater,
October 13 and IA.
This jolly jingle seems to have hit
the press and public as just right, in
asmuch as it has been presented IN
every city of note In the United
States to phenomenal business. 1t is
a cheering conglomeration of gaiety
girls music and fun, and although 1t
contains an original score of twenty
numbers and borders on light opera,
nevertheless it admits of many high
class and costly sEecialtles, and is pre-
scented by an organization of 40 people.
This comedy lays but little claim to
plot and is presented for the sole pur-
pose of introducing laughter and
beauty and song, corraling all the re-
freshing clements of gorgeous scenery,
brilliant costumes, jolly nonsense, en-
trancing music, clever comedians,
fascinating prima donnas, bewitching
soubrettes and a clever and dashing
chorus of youthful forms with beauti-
ful faces and sparkling eyes. Miss Ruth
Bernstein, handsome and bewitching
little, lady. has been engaged for her
talents to play the principal girl part,
and from past reports she is one of
the delightful features of the per-
Torrance. From all the glowing ac-
counts the public may justly expect a
performance of unusual eXcellencel
