Have You Seen Miss Rush?

The first attempt Of lucent theater
to put on a musical comedy is a great
success. The reception that has been
given: The Gay Miss Rush." at the
Bijou theater is very gratifying.
The company is said to be an excep-
tionally good one, and the play keeps
the audience in a roar of laughter all
of the time. The company has a good
chorus and the comedians are really
funny.
The play will continue at the Bitou
for the rest of the week. and it is ex-
pected that it will continue to draw big
and appreciative audiences.
The play is clean all of the way
through and has none of the earmarks
of the cheap shows that are sometimes
sent out to the smaller theaters.

Took a Tree; Arrested.

Joe Zozanty was arrested by Chief of
Police Peter Austgen on a warrant
charging him with stealing a tree The
story that Zozanty tells of the affair
is that the theft of the tree was all a
joke. He and some of his friends
thought it would be a good joke to
have a neighbor wake up the next
morning and discover that the tree he
had carefully planted was growing IN
the yard next door. The joke was on
the perpetrator when the neighbor
swore out a warrant for the arrest of
Zozanty and he was released on 800
bail.
