credit of the younger Jeffersons it is
said that they are animated by the
same spirit that has actuated their an
cestors and particularly their late
father, and that they are now proving
themselves to be worthy successors to
the heritage thai has been left them.
Everything that they attempt is char,
acterized as fidelity, careful prepara-
tons, attention to detail, and the per
formance they give is always artistic
and enjoyable to the highest degree.
AS Seen at Minneapolis.-T Min
neapolis News commenting on "rhe
Girl Question" which is to be at the
Illinois, March is. says: The average
|theatergoer uses four words in de
|scribing production TO him a show
is either punk fair, good or a
peach The two words heard after the
first performance of The Girl CUES
ton Thursday night were good and
a peach If you understand these
terms as used by the gallery gods you
set an accurate idea of the worth OF
the production. 1t is the cleanest
brightest, liveliest comic opera that
has been here Tor many moons. An
energetic and pa:nstaking management
has smoothed the rough places down
and infused sucn life into the piece
that you are sorry the show doesnt
last all night. The opera has an un
usual and refreshing plot A head
waiter and a good looking waitress
have been chums since childhood. The
head waiter falls in love with a pretty
| cashier of the restaurant where he
works. or rather he thinks he falls il
| love with her On the eve of theil
marriage, the cashier. who happens L
over. The plot ends with the head
waiter finding that he has always beer
in love with mis- tOyhood chum. tht
waitress. The audience applauds vo
ciferOusly when the 'chums' kiss eact
other in the last act. 1t is a simple
plot. It's idea is that true and last
ing affection is based primarily OF
friendship. Ii gives the piece a whole
someness, a strength that grips th'
! audience tight, and makes it enjoy tn,
| lighter parts much more than otherwise
The chief characters in the production
are generous, good looking, good ma
tured people, whom you feel as if yo,
would like TO know intimately and Sc
often. On this firm foundation tn
producers of The Girl Question hav
built q clever lot of chorus stunts
and introduced many delightful songs
The cast shows careful straining ant
painstaking rehearsal. Everyone doe
his best, and when that happens tn,
audience cannot help but appreciat
it"

At the Elite.-The program for this

Two items of interest TO local
music lovers are the gleanings
from last weeks events in the
charmed circles OF tone. The
Love Tales OF Hofmann" will be pro-
duced on this side OF the bay in the
near future and William F. Zech's or
chestra is to amalgamate with the Cal
vary choral society The aggregation
of amateur talent will give the great
oratories OF the great masters with
their proper orchestral setting.
Both Items are of more than passing
interest. Offenbach's remarkable opera

AS for the Love Tales of Hoffman,"
the piece and its production across the
bay have already been discussed In
these columns. 1t is only necessary TO
state that the American theater has
made arrangements with the company
at Idora park and that the players
and singers who have been interpret
ing the work there will appear at the
American theater for at least two
weeks, beginning Sunday afternoon.

Manager Cohn of the American told
me yesterday afternoon that he would

that he would augment the orchestral

One of the weaknesses OF the Idora
park production, as was pointed out in
these columns. was the lack of instru-
mentalists. This disadvantage Coan
promises to overcome by a more gem
erous expenditure of money IN the in
strumental section OF the presentation.
The event will be made still more
attractive, says the American theater
management, in the mechanical and
electrical setting. which the unusual
piece will be given.
1t is safe to predict, dare say. that
Les Contes d'Hoffmann' will be as
adequately produced as is possible un-
der the circumstances, and that the low
ers of real music in this city will not be
backward in recognizing and applaud
ing the enterprise of the American the
ater in getting Paul Steindorff and his
singers and players over here, where
we can hear them without buying a
