cessful musical play, The Boys and
Betty, written for her by George v.
Hobart, who provided the book and
lyrics and Silvio Helm, who furnished
the music. The new play is an adapt
alton from a French farce, La Papillon,
which ran for over year in Paris, and
has pust enough OF the atmosphere of
the Boulevards to make 1t enjoyable
although 1t has been to some degree
Americanized by its adaptor, even
| though the scenes are laid in the
French capital. The Boys and Betty
had a run of four months at Wallack's
theatre, New York and scored the big
| gest hit there Of any musical comedy of
the present season. It was the univer-
sal opinion that Miss Cahill had never

being It's the Doctor, Bill, A Little
Farther. Auf Wiedersehen, and The
Arab Love Song, the latter being of
the typical Cahill character and fully
as popular as any OF her former sue
| cesses. 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. G. Stewart, Sam D.
Hardy, Wallace McCutcheon, jr., Ken
meth Davenport, Lucien Kesney, Ed
ward Earle, James B. Carson, Anna
Mooney, Hattie Fox, Flora Finch and ,
Jane 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. This |
season IT Is made up of twenty four |
Of the most beautiful girls ever gath |
cred together in one organization Sc
lected also for their ability to wear
handsome clothes. Particular s-ress is |
laid upon the costumes worn by the /
ladies of The Boys and Betty company |
as being dreams Of the dressma kers |
art and making 1t the best dressed mu-
steal comedy of recent years.
