plantation with the weed in full bloom.
In the distance are the little log huts
of the negroes who are employed to
raise and cultivate the tobacco. In this
setting are shown the workers engaged
in harvesting the tobacco. FolloWing
this is a familiar strain of music and
the scene shifts to a Holland setting,
and the Hollanders with their bag pipes
are seen in characteristic dance.
The finale is the up to date cigarette
girls and boys who go through a COM
plicated series of gyrations and dances.
BY means of electrical c~ontrivances
they light their cigarettes and sing to
a Kaleidoscope display of lights, every
color of the rainbow being pressed into
service to make the combination of hues
that results. Twelve electricians are re-
quired behind the scenes and in front
of the balcony to ecure this effect. The
music for the tobacco playlet was espe-
cially written for the production by
Louis Hirsch.

AT THE COLUMBIA THEATRE.

Vance and Sullivan will produce THE
Card King of the Coast" for the first
time in his city at the Columbia The
atre next week. The play is by Lem
b. Parker and purports to depict
Western life. IL varies somewhat from
the Western plays familiar to lovers
of melodrama in that it deals with in
cidents in the Klondike, and thus is less
familiar to the general public than the
ordinary cowboy and Indian show. The
"unwritten laws of the Klondike con-
stitute the theme. Gun-p1ay in no
