"The Choir Singer" Thursday.

Endorsed by press and public is the
general verdict by all who have seen
the performance of THE Choir Singer
From a scenic standpoint, probably
the most effective scene in "The Choir
Singer" is that in which the stage OF
4 New York Roof Garden is reproduced
in the minuest detail; lighted by my
raids of electric bulbs. The scene i'm
presses one as being transplanted from
some beautiful tropical country, where
Waivy palms ana trailing vines -four
ish in abundance. 1t is here that the
heroine makes her debut as publ
singer. and on her success or failure
depends the saving of her old home in
Virginia.
Manager Cuddy announces on Thurs
day oct. ., next, "The Choir Singer
will be thc attraction. Prices y. 81
