the current week. and the overfiowing
house OF Monday afternoon gave am

A tabloid grand opera company OF
good vocalists. we'll and appropriately
costumed and placed in attractive
stage settings. is the Charles Loven-
berg company. The opening scene is
a gipsy encampment which gives op-
portunity for selections from THE
Bohemian Girl" and The Fortune
Teller" then comes the sextet from
Lucia" the famous trio from "Trova-
tore" and several ensemble numbers.
All Of these numbers were given with
spirit and in good voice and the act
Is OF unusually high class even for
modern day vaudeville. The company
numbers the Misses Keyes, Selfert.
Quinn. Ward. Bradbury Marlotte. Say

Pellaton. Metcalfe. Elmore. with Ar
thur Pell as musical director. Miss
Eula Brunelle contributed violin solos
In a pleasing manner and played OBJ
ligatos to two OF the individual num-
bers.
One OF the most ebullient and cutest
little maids appearing on the Temple
stage for q long time Is Louise Mey-
ers. OF the trio. Warren, Lyon and
Meyers. who offer "A Little Bit Of
Everything" Miss Meyers has a
daintiness and charm all her own and
her infectious gaiety wins friends
from the outset. Miss Warren displays
a good voice and Mr.. Lyon shows that
he can play the piano.
Nine. Adelaide Hermann, in a gor-
geous setting. does some excellent
palming and magic, learned from her
late husband, and also offers a new
illusion ''The Sleeping Beauty" In
which a young girl seemingly is posed
in different characters while suspend

Leo Donnelly tells good stories in a
happy way, his darky dialect yarns
being particularly good. Mr.. Donnelly
secured his material from actual hap
penfngs which came under his OBJ
servation while doing the various
beats" on a Philadelphia newspaper;
hence his monologue has a freshness
that bids fair to make his vaudeville
career success He closes his turn
with a recitation OF Kipling's Gunga

philosophy OF this girl Glad" is the
religion OF the age. She had no time
for the blues" or nerves-there Is al
ways some one TO be doing things
for, and there is always tomorrow IN
this life.
Glad" is full Of life and hope and
cheerfulness. She says, There's one
thing 7 ain't come across yet-a thing
as bad as wot yer thort 1t was" And
then again she says, I'm used ter
bein' cold an hungry an all that-but
I alters likes ter see wot's comm to-
morrow. There's alters tomorrow"
The lessons-even the sermons
preached in this play-are az helpful
as any ever preached In a pulpit. The
something OF which she has been told
is to ask Some One and keep asking,
for Glad says there Is always an
answer.
It's cheerfuller than formal religion.
There's no hellfire In II. The kind
of help that helps us now: that keeps
us doing.
The play is finely staged. and full
