Casino starts "The Geeser."

Casino Starts "The GeeEer."
 ''The Geezer." at the Casino last night caught on as easily as a title in Newport.
 It Is bright. clever and a musical feast of enjoyable quality.
 The Geezer'' gave the leading mem bers of the Lyric Opera Company a much better opportunity to display their talents and particular specialties than last weeks bill did and they made the best of it. In their old familiar WAbber and Fields roles they were thoroughly at home and knew that what had filled New York houses night after night was bound to please Mont gomery and there was none of the ner- vousness about their work that goes with uncertainty
 Lew Powers. as General lazy Cohen of Waukeshau, was whole show by himself and was repeatedly encored on equally as popular as the head of the Powers family and was compelled to respond to encores till she did not have a line left to hand out She is one of the prettiest and daintiest little soubrettes ever seen in this city. and when she sang. When the Moon Plays Peekaboo," last night the audience went wild with admiration.
 H. T Mcdonnell as Li Hung Chang ''The Geezer," Lee Earth as Two-Hi- 8 Chinese tea house proprietor; Miss Edna Benson as Nellie Fly, a newspaper woman. orlo Knight as Lord Tipton and Jack Ascher as a wandering min strel were all exceptionally good and thoroughly pleased the audience
 The Geezer" Is being produced at the Casino just as 1t was for such a long and successful run at Webber and Fields and the leading parts are fully up to the original standard and that Is enough to say for anything called burIesque, musical or comedy.
 The costumes are all new. having ar rived from the tailor yesterday and being worn for the first time last night. The songs, too. are the most original and catchy <hat have been heard recently in Montgomery.
 The Lyric Opera Company will play The cseezer" the rest of the week with Wednesday and Saturday matinees

Augusta, Me. Sept. 2l.-Although prac-
tically all of the forest fires which have
swept the tmberlands throughout the
state during the past three days
threatening homesteads and property on
every side. were under control to-day
the vigilance was maintained everywhere
lest a change In the wind should bring
the flames IN n position to successfully
challenge the fire fighters efforts to
check them. Throughout the night undo,
the influence OF the heavy night air and
the easing dew and moisture the hres
apparently were lessened and no serious
outbreaks were reported.
The only blaze which remained as a
threatening menace to property when
nightfall fell In last night. was that al
Scarboro. but this was reported to-da y
to have been checked by the fremen SC
that there was but little possibility of It's
getting beyond their control.
