"CAT AND FIDDLE"
WAS VERY GOOD

There are many things to rec
ommend the musical extravaganza,
"The Cat and the Fiddle" which
closed a brief engagement at the
Auditorium last night. The piece
has all of the better parts of mus
ical comedy and in addition gives a
wealth of special scenic and cleo
trical effects, and the usual illu-
-sions that go to making the well
produced extravaganza interesting.
The plot, If such it may be called,
Is based on a conflict between the
spirits of light and darkness, with
scenes suggestive of the inferno in
one act and a grand tableau show
ing heaven in another The scenic
effects were especially good and
from five to seven special scenes
were given in each of the three
acts. Charts A. Sellon, in the stel-
lar role of Happy, the hobo, pro-
duced tramp character that it is
hard to surpass. George e. Wake
field, who appeared as the bad
man of the magic island, the giant
with thirst for power, is nearly
seven feet in height, large and
fieerce looking on the stage, and
makes an ideal show giant. The
choruses were good, and many
novel ideas along this line were in
trOduced.

cling stunt of mixing an apparently
stale egg with a collection of rings
loaned by parties nj the audience.
This one stamps distress on the
faces of the owners, but they are
returned as clean as ever and with
presents. The presents consist of
doll babies, soap, perfume, cigars
and the last token, consisting of a
well filled nursing bottel, was
given light night to a young man
who had every appearance of fear
ing that his ring would not be re-
turned. Well said this was a tonic
