.aThe Blue Mouse >

1t is said that one of the most anus
ing scenes ever presented on the stage,
takes place in the second act of Clyde
Fftch's uproariously funny farce, THE
Blue Mouse" which has created such
furore in the east and which is book
ed for an early presentation in this
city. In this act, Mr.. Fitch has arrang-
ed an auction sale of all the household
effects of THE Blue Mouse" which is
so much out of the ordinary as to prove
one of the big novelties of the piece.
There are three acts to this farce, and
the cast is the largest ever required
for comedy of this kind and the pro-
duction is said to be a surprise even
to the "old timers"
