Those who have seen THE Time,

for the statement that there is not q
single song in it that is not clever and
catchy. Most plays of this sort have
n or two breezy things upon which
the entire production hinges but the
%unceasing variety of melody and mirth
of this production has gained for it an
undyine reputation. It is to musical
comedy what Uncle Toms Cabin has
been for drama, except that THE
