1.-THE Cat and the Fiddle"

The attraction at the Jefferson
Theater Monday, Dec. 13, is the pro-
nounced success and beautifully
staged musical extravaganza, The
Cat and the Fiddle" which has scored
a series of triumphs in all the larger
cities throughout the United States
and Canada the past three seasons.
There is nothing small about this pro-
duction from it's magnifcently equip
ped stage accessories and mechanical
effects to the large and capable COM
pany with its we'll trained beauty
chorus.
1.-The Cat and the Fiddle" is on the
order of 'The Wizard of o." "The
Top of the World" Babes in the
Woods" Mother Goose" but in it's
own peculiar line stands in a class
by itself. 1t combines all the attract
iveness of extravaganza with the
beauties of the spectacular. Its nine
teen scenes are marvels of beauty,
illusion, transformation and mystifying
stage craft. The atmosphere created
affords delight to both old and young,
stimulating the imagination Of the
latter and recalling happy days Of
childhood to the former.
The principals are said to have
been selected from among the best
timber in musical extravaganza, and
they will impersonate the witty tramp,
the humorous Irishman, the plethoric
German, a boisterous sea captain, the
Giant Great Gobs, a queenly Dianna,
a bewitching Gree and her ever close
attendant, the gigantic cat. The
scenes in which these characters fig
ure are full of mirth and interest, and
at times approach almost to W
and the supernatural. Many a pair
of young eyes will bulge and stare at
the marvellous transformations brought
about by this selfsame wonderful cat
at the command of the Genii.
Many clever new song numbers are
introduced throughout the action of
the piece, among the number being
My Maid in the Moon,' Mother
Goose Fables" I'm the Shadow of
Old Date Tree" I've Never Been
Introduced to YOU" etc.
The cast is headed by MI. Chas. A.
Sellon and his appearance on the local
stage in this piece last season is ia
vorably remembered. He is still ably
by those petite condolences
the Elmore Sisters.

big center, Aycock, who got his knee
hurt within five minutes after the
game started. 1t was only a slight
injury, but being ON the knee it was
sufficient to make it necessary for
Aycock to drop out. The Normal boys
already outweighed the Institute boys
by eleven pounds to the man-for
AycOck was the Institutes heaviest
man-210 pounds. 1t was therefore
comparatively easy for the Normal to
go through Industrials line. Aycock
is all right now, however, and will be
back in the game next Saturday, when
the Institute team expects to make a
better showing. The game will be
refereed by Gill of Louisiana State
University, the champion fullback of
the Varsity team this season and last,
while the umpire will be Big Stovall,
the captain and center of the L. S.. U.
team, who is also n of the "All
Southern team for this year. The
IlllGup IOT the IuuuStTldt HSNI SdtuT-
day will be as follows:
Left end, Dossman or Bagarry; left
tackle, Roy or Bienvenu; left guard,
Burleigh or Vincent; center, Aycock
or Melzacher; right guard. Bertrand;
right tackle, Moore or Bienvenu: right
end, Nereaux or Bagarry; quarterback,
Bordelon or Dossman; right half,
Achee; left half, Vincent; fullback,
Coley.
But the foot ball game will not be
by any means all the attraction on
the grounds, as there will probably be
many people present on account of
the basket ball game as for the foot
ball game. The girls are good players
and will give Abbeville a strong game.
