The Hot Air Merchant.

Richford R. Edwards presented his
third production at the operahouse last
evening, It was The Hot Aair. Mer-
chant. 1t is not giving away any se-
crets to state that the performance
last night was not a success-either
artistically or financially The vehicle
was not as good as the two former eff
forts, and while the idea Of having boys
impersonate all the girl characters was
novel, 1t failed to score the hit that
was anticipated. There were some good
songs in the piece-but aside from the
vocal efforts of Archie Booth and the
dancing specially Of AL Stevens
there was little talent displayed in the
performance. Mr.. Edwards took the
part of Liza very successfully and his
methods Of handling his skirts appealed
strongly to the ladies in the audience.
Floyd Becker as Dewey Blow, the sup
posed star of the cast, had a good
thing in directing the band on his first
appearance, but his efforts after that
were distinctly frosty.

Chauncey Olcott and his excellent

Tuesday evening there is a particular
strong Irish spirit Prevailing the whole
work, and the picture OF peasant life
1t portrays is vivid and faithful in
every detail. The play, which was
written by Rida Johnson Young in

a story of love among the peasantrv of

With the beginning of the present

the Fargo operahouse on next Friday
evening, began it's seventeenth annual

so FAR from showing any signs OF de-
crepltude, 1t seems to wax lustier and
stronger as the years roll by, until 1t
has come to be regarded as the most
popular drama in America.
What is the secret of this perennial
popularity? What elements nave in
trenched 1t so firmly in the affections
OF the people that they go to see 1t
again and again and always with the
same pleasure and delight? These
elements are necessarily subtle and
complex. yet perhaps more easy to de-
fine than to duplicate.
In the first place, the atmosphere of
one of the most romantic and inter-
esting states OF the Union has been
reproduced with absolute fidelity. The
characters, drawn from life by the

They are not stage characters but liv-
ing. breathing human beings, into
whose thoughts and emotions one en-
ters with the same understanding and
interest that Is felt for friends with
whom one has spent his life.

There is also the tremendous inter-
