Mr.. VIM. Cushman, manager, of
1.-The Toymaker's Dream Co. which
will appear at the Grand Opera house
on Wednesday night, Jan. 9Th. prides
himself on having more original mu-
sic than any other, so called musical
show. The music for this show was
written by Mr.. Cushman, and contains
twenty of the latest and best ensem BILE
mum bers which this able musician
could compose. Among some of the
song hits are Look Out for the Auto
mobile 'Tony the Hand Organ Man."
'tA Crazy Jay on Circus Day" and the
beautiful song story rendered by Mr..
Geo. Lemely Roll on Thou Deep and
Dark Blue Ocean" The chorus which
renders these selections are under the
personal direction of Prof. Chas. F.

vatory and those attending this show
will have the pleasure of hearing some
of the greatest musical numbers of the
season.

in the audience believed him to be
one of the company managers, the
added actor suddenly turned to the
audience and with a dramatic sweep
of his arm and SLOUGH hat, he shouted
in the tongue of his mother country,

Director Lang as he hurried from
the balcony box after being shocked
by the appearance of Salome wearing
little more than a Red Cross Christ
mas stamp.
without even hesitating in his
march across the stage to see whether
his order would be obeyed, the man
and SLOUGH hat disappeared in the
wings at the right just as Media
emerged from the tent of the rowing
theatrical troupe. A dozen stage
hands, after being assured that he
really was not the director of public
safety. held him until one of the d.
rector'S uniformed representatives
could summon a patrol wagon and
take him to Central Police station.
The intrusion of the stranger caused
no interruption of the closing act of
the double opera bill. Neither did 1t
detract anything from the magnificent
work of the principals and chorus in
the tragic scene in which Media lays
down her life because she listened to
love-. Few in the audience gave any
attention to the emulator of Director
Lang and those who did merely
laughed for moment and then gave
their attention to the work of the
real actors.

the House,

Mr.. Kennedy always meant to write
plays. His first one was written and
produced when he II years old. 1t was
an al fresco (back yard) production,
and his wife, Edith Wynne Matthison,
then an artist of nine summers, played
the principal part. 1t may be remark
ed that their courtship had begun sew
eraI years previous and that it has con-
tinued uninterruptedly ever since.
The boy author wrote many other
plays before he was 90 but few of them
came even so near the footlights as did
that first Juvenile attempt. When Mr..
Kennedy had left Cambridge, and knew
his Sophocles, Aeschylus and Eurip
ides by heart. and the feelings of
dramatist were still strong within him,
he determined to go upon the stage to
become intimately acquainted with the
workings of the thing for which he
was to write SO brilliantly.
AS the Greek drama and Shakes
peare had been his hobby at the uni
versity, it was natural Mr.. Kennedy
should turn to the modern classic

1.-THE BurgOmaSteF.
Harry Hermson accompanied by
Fraulein Ruth White will be at the
Grand Monday surrounded by a COM
pany which is promised to be of
superior excellence, these stars will be
seen In a big production of the Pixley
and Luders' musical masterpiece,
THE Burgomaster." Mr.. Hermson
will be seen as Peter Stuyvesant, the
jolly old one-legged governor of New
Amsterdam, who is buried while try
Ing to escape hostile Indians and who
is dug up 200 years later in the City
Hall square in New York, and Miss
White as Willie, the gay youth who
takes him around town. The music
sNof 1.-The Burgomaster" is WHAT has
fmade it the greatest musical comedy
success of the times. 1t is high
quality, but popular and perhaps no
two songs have been more widely
WhtStled and sung than The Tale of
the Kangaroo" and II Love You" The
story of the play is as follows: Peter
Stuyvesant, governor of New Amster-
dam, wishes to be released and sent
back to Holland. The Indians and
the English are pressing him; they
ask for concessions which he is I'M
able to give; he and his secretary
Doodle Won Kull, prepare a key of
drugged liquor for the Indians, but
drinking too freely of it themselves,
they fall asleep. Two hundred years
later, they awake up while workmen
are digging a trench in the City Hall
square, New York. Their experiences
in the Metropolitan city can be
imagined. They meet a gilded youth,
Willie, who shows them the town; a
crook, who f1eeces them; a theosophist,
who claims the Burgomaster as her
former husband and scores of other
types. The entire costuming and
scenery for the present production of
1.-THE Burgomaster'' have been made
especially for this big revival and en-
trely different from all former pre-
sensations of THE Burgomaster.'
The famousiy original Kangaroo girls
chorus and the male sextette are still
prominent factors in the formation
of the present company, which has
been selected for its singing ability as
we'll as its beauty. Besides Miss
White and Mr.. Hermsen. the large
company includes Marie Grandpre,
Marian Mack. Eta and Phaemie

The dance of Salome and her slave

that men must not be blindly trusted.

The Jefersons.

Joseph and William w. Jefferson are
amongst the foremost figures on the
American stage today They stand for
all that is artistic. ideal, clean and pure
in modern dramatic production. Their
fame and popularity extend even far
beyond the theater going public into the
large class who are never attracted to
q play except when it represents the
rare qualities enumerated above. These
idealistics are recognized everywhere a.
the trade mark of the JeffersonS' per-
formances. No other actors of the past
or present century have been closer to
the hearts of the people, or more uni
versally beloved. The announcement of
their intended appearance anywhere is
all that is necessary to guarantee a
crowded house and to give assurance of
satisfactory entertainment. Local the
alter goers will have an opportunity to
recognize this when Joseph and William
W. Jefferson appear here in Richard
Brinsley Sheridan's classical comedy,
1.-The Rivals"
This opportunity offered now to see
them should not be neglected, and the
ater goers will be interested to learn
that they will appear in the charming
which make this play fam
Gus. There is nothing these actors do
that has not the imprint of their own
genial and artistic natures. All the hui
NOR, facility and humanity of the men
are woven in their Characterization,
and the art and skill employed in doing
this are of a school, peculiarly their
own. This is particularly true of 1.-The
Rivals" in which they will appear at the
