There is an atmosphere of class and
charm in Mort. H.. Singers musical play,
"A Stubborn Cinderella" which comes to
the Boyd on Monday and Tuesday even
ings. II tells a fairy story Of a young
college boy and a young English noble
woman who fall in love with each other
at first sight and then proceed to carve
out their own happiness at the dictate of
their own hearts, rather than obey the
behests OF Madam Grundy or the young
lady's guardian. AS a corollary to their
love affair, several of the young chaps
classmates also proceed to fall in love
with some Of their charming "co-eds,' for

on Friday and Saturday and Saturday
matinee in her newest and most success
full musical play, The Boys and Betty"

provided the book and lyrics, and Sllvio
Helm, who furnished the music. TIL new
play is an adaptation from a French
farce. La Papillon," which ran for over
a year I'm Paris, and has just enough of
lie atmosphere of the Boulevards to make
Il enjoyable although it has been to some
degree Amerlcanized by it's adaptor, even
though the scenes are laid in the French
capital. The Boys and Betty had a
run of four months at Wallack's theater,
New York. and scored the biggest hit
there of any musical COMEDY of the present
season. IL was the universal opinion that
Miss Cahill had never appeared to such
splendid advantage as in her present
vehicle and the New York critics were
unanimous IN pralslng her work. This
season the comedienne has, of course, a
number of new songs to offer her ad-
mirers, among them being IT'S the Doctor,
BILL" "A Little Farther" 'Auf Wieder-
sehen'' and THE Arab Love song" the
latter being of the typical Cahill charac-
ter and fully as popular as any of her
former successes. The company this year
is one OF the best that Miss Cahill has
ever had in her support, The list contains
the names of w. C.. Stewart, sam b.
Hardy, Wallace McCutcheon, H.. Kenneth
Davenport. Luclen Kesney. Edward Earle,
James b. Carson. Anna Mooney. Hattie
Fox, Flora Finch and lane Rutledge. The
chorus is. Of course, as usual, one of the
features Of the production and is said
to be even more pulchritudinOus than ever,
