Circus Girl is the most laughable OF
all plays which depend upon a
'motherinlaW' and certain conditions
arising from her existence for the ma
jority of their amusing scenes and
situations. Melvin Mayo, who has
demonstrated his ability as a clever
comedian as well as a competent lead
ing man, is most happily cast in to-
nights bill. Miss Howard has a role
that will afford much amusement as
also have the Misses Cartwright
Stricken and Drummond. S. M. Cur
tiss will impersonate a character en-
tirely different than anything he has
yet attempted here and will be found
highly pleasing. Messrs. Routh and
Kehoe have parts in which they will
delight all who attend.

clever badinage, the satirical turn or
the dialogue and the comic epigrams
that pervade it all appeals more to
the intelligent class in a community
than to those who love horse play low
comedy and the suggestive style OF
entertainment so much in vogue of
late The story is pretty and enough
to interest, the characters create in
terest for themselves the moment they
appear on the stage and the music is
classic. Mr.. A. Baldwin Sloane, who
is responsible for it, has. a national
reputation for success in the lighter
compositions, and he has yet to score
a failure in anything that he has
written. His music finds place in
many private libraries, side by sidt
with those of the great masters and
while it has a pleasing Tilt and
knack of catching the ear, it is abso-
Iutely without flaw from the point of
view of the musician. The numbers
for which Mr.. Sloane is responsible
in the Ginger Bread Man are 1.-THE
Beautiful Land of Bon Bon'' MAIZE"
Every Little Something" do You
Believe in Santa Claus" Moon
Moon "Old Ramassees," and many
others of infinite charm.
The scene of the play is laid in
the mythical land of Bon Bon, and is
in two acts, and one can readily as
sumo that there is charm in the To-
cality. The characters are ''Nachi
Valius," Fudge Jack Horner,"
Maize Bon Bon, 1.-THE Ginger Bread
Man" Fairy Queen" essayed by a
male comedian, Marjorie Dorr,"
Simple Simon" king Bum" and
"The Wise Man." They offer no end
of entertainment and comic interpo-
lations.
The singing is unusual but the music
is at all times appealing and while
brilliant it is yet of the class that
appeals to all, owing to the beautiful
melody that pervades it throughout.
